Paul Sacher informs Bohuslav Martinů that the previous day he heard a performance of SYMPHONY No.1 conducted by Hans Münch in Basel as part of a symphony concert. PS is delighted with the work and expresses his admiration for the composer. He also offers him a commission to compose a piece for chamber orchestra, preferably for string orchestra, but there may be a larger orchestra (strings and several wind instruments) [future TOCCATA E DUE CANZONI].
