Content and physical description

Content	He's responding to Lom's drama sent to him. He likes the play, but doesn't know exactly how to approach it as an opera yet. He still has only a certain idea of the musical solution; he would like to avoid "everything operatic". He comments on Lom's suggestion for the layout of the play, the style of the dialogue, the necessary changes for the musical adaptation, the overall character of the drama, and Lom's other ideas. He would like to avoid "romantic dramatism" and preserve the tone of legend with an inner tragedy in the musical expression. He would need to know Lom's idea of an operatic setting. He suggests writing the play for performance in the open air, and likes the idea of a performance in the castle courtyard.
