Bohuslav Martinů se omlouvá Paulovi [a Maje] Sacherovým, že se tak dlouho neozval – byl pohlcen svojí operou [ŘECKÉ PAŠIJE]. Z psaní má křeč v pravé ruce, a už téměř není schopný psát.
Římský pobyt se jim s Charlottou Martinů nevyvedl, oba byli střídavě nemocní a po dobu dvou měsíců bylo špatné počasí. Lidé na Akademii jsou milí a nechávají ho v klidu. Zatím tam nemá mnoho pracovních povinností a může se nerušeně věnovat své opeře [ŘECKÉ PAŠIJE].
Přítel Nikose Kazantsakise se zabývá smlouvami a pomohl i pisateli se smlouvou s Universal Edition.
BM děkuje za zprávy o úspěšném koncertu [SYMFONIE Č. 6], měl trochu strach. Charlotte Reber mu o tom také napsala, dopis byl podepsaný všemi kočkami z Rennwegu [viz Reb 1957-02-15].
[S ChM] vyslechli v [Československém rozhlase Praha] SYMFONII Č. 6 ve velmi dobrém provedení. Poslouchali také FRESKY PIERA DELLA FRANCESCA z Baden-Baden a Lausanne. V Římě se hrál KVARTET PRO HOBOJ, HOUSLE, VIOLONCELLO A KLAVÍR v podání souboru z německého Detmoldu [„ensemble de Demond en Allemagne“, upraveno podle Ryb 1957-01-24].
BM čte knihy o starověkém Řecku a Římě.
O operu [ŘECKÉ PAŠIJE] projevil zájem Herbert Karajan, Rafael Kubelík z Londýna a také La Scala.
BM ještě neviděl klavírní výtah EPOSU O GILGAMEŠOVI, ale psali mu z Universal Edition, že je to na dobré cestě, stejně jako příprava materiálu. Jakmile od nich BM dostane noty, provede korekturu.
PS údajně hodně cestovali. BM je rád, že mohli být i v Basileji na provedení SYMFONIE Č. 6.
BM psal do Prahy, aby Sacherovi poslali sborovou partituru, kterou BM napsal v Nice [OTVÍRÁNÍ STUDÁNEK]. Skladba měla premiéru v Poličce a pořídili také nahrávku.
BM i ChM zdraví do Schönenbergu.

Bohuslav Martinů apologises to Paul [and Maje] Sacher for not having heard from him for so long - he was absorbed in his opera [Greek PASSION]. He has a cramp in his right hand from writing, and is almost unable to write.
The Roman stay did not go well for him and Charlotte Martinů; both were alternately ill and the weather was bad for two months. The people at the Academy are kind and let him take it easy. For the time being he has not many duties there and can devote himself undisturbed to his opera [GREEK PASSIONS].
A friend of Nikos Kazantsakis deals with contracts and he also helped the writer with the Universal Edition contract.
BM thanks for the news of the successful concert [SYMPHONY No. 6], he was a little worried. Charlotte Reber also wrote to him about it, the letter was signed by all the Rennweg cats [see Reb 1957-02-15].
They [S ChM] heard SYMPHONY No. 6 performed very well on [Czechoslovak Radio Prague]. They also listened to FRESKY PIER DELLA FRANCESCA from Baden-Baden and Lausanne. In Rome they played the QUARTET FOR OBOY, HOUSELLO, VIOLONCELLO AND Clavier performed by an ensemble from Detmold, Germany ["ensemble de Demond en Allemagne", adapted from Fish 1957-01-24].
BM reads books on ancient Greece and Rome.
Herbert Karajan, Rafael Kubelík from London and also La Scala have shown interest in the opera [Greek PASSION].
BM has not yet seen the piano extract of EPOS OF GILGAMES, but has been written to by Universal Edition that it is well under way, as is the preparation of the material. As soon as BM gets the sheet music from them he will proofread.
PS reportedly did a lot of traveling. BM is glad they could be in Basel for the performance of SYMPHONY No. 6.
