Content and physical description
ContentThanks for the news; asks if D'Orange and [Negand?] have left Prague; what is Prague doing?; they are working in the fields here; asks about Stanislav Novak; writes about the song form, he is not an enthusiast of it, it seems to him that he has to stick to the lyrics in order to create a "decent thing", he finds it awful to be tied to declamation, "rather than spoil the melodic line for a lyric, I'd rather leave the song"; Josef Suk had already reproached him for this, he also took it to heart, "in Nipponary the accent is already more decent", with songs he does not listen to the lyrics but to the melody, even when he plays himself; as soon as he is in a bit of a mood he will write several songs in which the declamation will be correct, he has no lyrics; he does not even know about the war now, he does not read the newspapers; he has no time for French; the address for "Jirka" is A. Jirank. [A. Jirank?] at Mrs. Pavlova, Pštrosová 12 III.p.
