Content and physical description
ContentHe came back from Switzerland today and found the letter, turned over the whole flat, but he can't find the retouches [Concerto for piano and orchestra no. 2]; he does not have the score; as for the retouches, I hope it will not be a difficulty, as they have remained in the voices, it is only a few places; he thinks Germaine Leroux played it last time on the radio from the Philharmonia material; omitted - on the bars - there is nothing - except for the few bars at the end in the piano, which they talked about, the orchestra is silent; it would be best if Kubelík or the Philharmonic would request the original score from Melantrich, given the reworking, for a few days; he just remembered that he sent a listing of the retouches to the Philharmonic as well, so perhaps the sheet would be found somewhere in the archive files; but otherwise he may well play from the Philharmonic material; he asks about the Pucs; he hopes Firkušný will return via Paris.
