Content and physical description
ContentThe writer thanks the addressee for the New Year’s greetings and wishes all the best too. He regrets that he has not seen Bohuslav Martinů for a long time – on the one hand, he was busy; on the other, it is difficult to obtain permission from the government for such expenses. This difficulty also prevents them from being able to continue their promisingly launched business relations. He regrets that there is no possibility to publish the addressee’s other works – and he would not like to promise something that would subsequently be beyond his possibilities to keep. Therefore, he is glad that the Prague-based publisher [Melantrich] has made an offer to the addressee; he will certainly be pleased to confirm the usual 2,550 francs. When it comes to the CONCERTINO FOR PIANO TRIO AND STRING ORCH., the writer would be glad if it were mentioned in the catalogue of hired works. The material exists, Paul Sacher has, largely at his own expense, had some of the parts made, and Schott too has had some of the parts made at its own expense. Yet the work is, naturally, at the addressee’s disposal and he can sell it to Prague.
