Content and physical description
ContentDescribes concert events: the concert with Sachr was a triumph [EPOS ABOUT GILGAMEŠ]. He got a zimnik from Sacher. The weather is beautiful and they are having a great time. BM goes to the hospital with his arm, the doctors are optimistic. He has almost no expenses. In February there will be a concert of his pre-war symphony [CONCERT SYMPHONY], but he doesn't remember it at all, it is now published by Schott. Soon the waist problems begin. They wrote from home about the celebrations, STUDENTS everywhere like it very much, he even got an honorarium from Prague. Gilgamesh is to be shown at the Festival in Prague. Bakala is supposed to give a double concert with a Belgian ensemble. Serkin had a great success in Toronto with SONATA. He is now working on a piece for Munch [PARABOLY], the piano concerto is finished and will be premiered in Berlin.
