Content and physical description
ContentThe BBC will broadcast the CONCERT FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA No.5 (FANTASIA CONCERTANTE) with Margrit Weber and the BBC Symphony Orchestra (dir. Rudolf Schwarz).
Universal Edition, London sends current billing. The amount is small, but the next bill will be higher.
As soon as they know the exact title of the harpsichord pieces that Bohuslav Martinů has exchanged for "Three Czech Dances" [TŘI ČESKÉ DANCE], they will send him a corrected contract.
They would like to have revised contracts for EPOS ON GILGAMES and CONCERT FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA No. 5 (FANTASIA CONCERTANTE) as soon as possible so that the payment of performance fees is not jeopardized.
[below the text is a handwritten French text by Alfred Kalmus: AK is sure that this letter makes it clear that they do not wish to act in any way contrary to the contract with Universal Edition, Vienna.]
