Content and physical description
ContentSK has received the score and was deeply touched, especially by the Adagio, which fittingly expresses what he experienced in his grief. It is a consolation that this beautiful work was written in memory of his wife, and thus especially dear to him. The editor has promised to send the parts by November 5, when rehearsals will begin. SK will give BM the date of the concert at another time.
