Content and physical description
ContentHe is interceding on behalf of G. a. H. Beal, the American violinists from Brooklyn, he has written for them a Concerto for two violins and orchestra; they are excellent violinists, and the "Concerto" is not bad either, probably not as good as Bach's Double Concerto (BWV 1043), but it is probably the second concerto of this genre since then; he sends him reviews which have been published in America; he would like to help them when they come to Europe, they are two very nice and clever boys; asks if it would be possible for him to include them in his programs, they will be "here" (in Europe) at the end of January 1955 until July, perhaps he could put them in his concerts or on the radio; they also have other, very nice repertoire for two violins; apologizes for bothering him about it, surely he knows he does not like to ask conductors, thanks in advance; they read that he has been in the States (A. was in the U.S. in the winter of 1952-53); decided to stay in Europe for a year to get rid of the dust of New York; settled in Nice, address: 94 Chemin de Brancolar, Nice. A.M.
