Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks Paul Sacher for his letters and sends corrections [CONCERT SYMPHONY No. 2].
He regrets the errors in the material and asks Sacher to inform [the publishers Boosey & Hawkes] in London.
BM would like to dedicate the piece to Maja Sacher. He would be delighted if MS would accept, even if the piece was not written specifically for her.
BM is still planning to write a large work with chorus [EPOS ON GILGAMES] for MS, but will address this later. She is not working much at the moment, having to proofread works before publication and prepare old manuscripts.
Many people are interested in premiering CONCERTANT SYMPHONY [No. 2] and BM still has to defend its premiere for PS.
