Content and physical description
ContentAfter his return from Paris, Bohuslav Martinů came across two letters from Paul Sacher.
BM is a bit confused about Blaise Calamo. BC had written to the writer in Nice, referring to PS (PS said he asked BC to get in touch with him when he was in Switzerland). BM then wrote back saying he could meet him at PS's place. BC played CONCERTO DA CAMERA, but BM did not know him and would not have dared to invite him to PS if it had not been for that letter.
BM thanks for the invitation to Schoenberg and looks forward to seeing him on 25 Sep.
BM will not need a piano this time, but asks the addressee for a typewriter. He wants to put together a libretto for his new opera [GREEK PASSIONS].
The concert in Bern should feature HORA OF THREE LIGHTS performed by Haghe Sanghers. BM has no news of this either, perhaps the date has changed.
PS should possibly write to him at the Paris address BM gives.
