Content and physical description
ContentTalich offers to perform La Bagarre at a London concert in February 1928. As he has the score of SK for the premiere, BM asks him to fix the date so that it is before Talich's performance. BM has one more score. He asks Koussevitzky for his cooperation, as a London concert would bring him excellent publicity. If SK has not yet set a date or the date is after February, let him know.

Talich has offered to include La Bagarre in a concert of modern music with the Czech Philharmonic in London on February 28, 1928. As BM has given SK the score to use for the premiere, he asks SK to identify the premiere as such, and that the premiere will be given before Talich's performance. BM has another copy of the score [for Talich's use]. BM asks for Koussevitzky's cooperation since the London concert will give him excellent publicity. If SK has not established the performance dates or if he wants to perform the work after February, he should notify BM so that Talich can make other arrangements.
