Content and physical description
ContentBM has not heard from Kunec for a long time [since BM's letter of 31 May 1931]. He recapitulates the previous letter - he thanked Kunec for his favour and asked if he would accept the dedication of the cycle of Moravian dances [or Rond]. No reply was received and the Moravian Dances will be performed in Paris this year. BM plans to ask Kunce again for help. He has a commission for the Smetana Prize this year - he sent the Serenade, which was performed by Straram with great success at the Champs-Elysée and published by Schott. There is great interest in it - Schott wrote that Stokowski and Koussevitzky had also asked for it. Talich has played it on tour and will perform it in Stockholm and London. Mimi to to will be BM's entry for the prize at the gala overture announced by the Czech Sokol Society. He will send the score in a few days. She asks for further help, the situation is unfavourable.
