Content and physical description
ContentThe writer hopes that the addressee has received the score of the CONCERTO GROSSO in order. The writer assures Bohuslav Martinů that he is interested in everything the addressee has composed, yet the works have such an unusual instrumental configuration that it hinders the distribution his works deserve. As regards the FOUR MADRIGALS, they may arouse general interest, but there are about fifty companies worldwide that could possibly purchase them. If the score is available, BM should send it.
Concerning the CONCERTO FOR VIOLONCELLO AND ORCH. No. 1, there are only two performances planned, would it be so possible to insert de changes in the existing score and material? They can prepare some more examples of strings.
