Content and physical description
ContentPaul Sacher asks Bohuslav Martinů about specific places in CONCERTANT SYMPHONY [No. 2]:
Should the section marked "poco vivo" in the first movement be played faster than the preceding "allegro"? Does the tempo continue to the end of the movement, or should the tempo switch to the original tempo when returning to 4/4 time?
Is it correctly notated that in the last movement the solo instruments and piano suddenly stop in forte and the string orchestra returns in piano on the following page?
PS asks because BM obviously didn't get the part to proofread. There is a serious error in the printed solo parts, as the publisher did not know that BM had flipped pages 55 and 56.
