Content and physical description

Content	Burkat encloses a copy of Downes' review of the second performance of Fantaisies Symphoniques in New York. His change of heart is encouraging. The piece has been well received in all seven performances. Munch plans to perform it in Europe in May. Munch has discovered many errors in the parts and hopes to have time to go over them with BM before printing.
