Content and physical description
ContentIn Europe, Bohuslav Martinů’s SYMPHONY NO. 6 has been performed just once: on 11 June 1955 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vilém Tauský. It was a radio broadcast without any audience present; hence, as is customary here, the press did not report on the broadcast. The work will be performed more frequently after the score has been published and it has been promoted.
