Content and physical description
ContentThey came back from Wiesbaden, the trip went well, the premiere of Juliette was a huge success. He describes the production. Four theatres are interested in the premiere of the Greek Passion, but Hamburg will probably win. He's slowly gaining weight and he's hungry. He's written a nonet for a Prague company. Löwenbach's daughter Eva Fischer died in Argentina, he was sad about it. Also the piano concerto was said to have been a success in Berlin and his old Sextet given by Sacher in Zurich. They had to repeat the last movement. My sister is staying with friends, she has calmed down a bit after all these events, she was happy about Frank's letter. She asks about her former love.
