| Content | Thanks for the letters and the book. He has new news concerning Miss Champfrey's concerts in Lyon and Moyse's (he gives Moyse's address and that of Sr. Marcelle Lacour). News from Monique passed on to her parents. He hopes that Radio I. Reunnes will come to Marseille these days and that Monique will go with them - they could meet in Marseille. They don't know whether they will go to Lisbon or Cannes, they are waiting for their visas. She will write to him again and probably mention it to Firkusny, who has already crossed the border. He informs Marika about their apartment and his music: Siamso's (?) business in Nevers has been abandoned and the package [with his music] has been left there somewhere. As for the notes left in Vieux Moulin he has even less hope, since he has no news at all from anyone in the family. The only material he has is Moyse's: he has his sonata notes [Sonata for fl.,violin and clav, 1937], the Promenades [1939], and the Concerto for Flute and Violin [1936]; Miss M. Lacour has the Concerto for Harpsichord [1935], and Pierre Fournier has the Sonata for Cello [No. 1, 1939]. (Finally, in a note, he announces that he has suddenly received good news about his manuscripts.) He regrets that he forgot to tell them about the transmission of the Double Concerto. Perhaps there will be another broadcast with Sacher on 10 November from Bern and in January or February from Geneva or Lausanne. He regrets that he has no sheet music to take with him to America. Remembering his good friend, the musician Jaubert, he is shaken by the sad news. He commiserates. |
