Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks Paul Sacher for his two letters. He has already received the manuscript of [EPOS ON GILGAMES] from the Universal Edition, so PS does not need to send him his copy. BM has also already had the score and sleeves printed and it is well done. He has to correct the piano lift, choral parts and orchestral score. There are few errors; BM gives a provisional list of them with corrections. He will send the piano lift to UE, where they will send Sacher the final version after proofreading. Shouldn't the baritone part sit lower after all? The soloists can split the spoken parts, it could be entrusted to the tenor and bass. There are also corrections to the text. The writer will inform the UE of any errors.
PS can perform the piece as he wishes, BM's idea was just an idea.
The proofreading will be done in a few days.
BM and Charlotta Martinů greet the addressee and Maja Sacher.
