Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů asks for a delay in printing [CONCERTA DA CAMERA], he would like to see the score. He wrote to Boosey & Hawkes that he had concluded a contract with Universal Edition, and asked for a copy of the score to be sent to him from New York. He also wants to see the solo violin part, which was originally unnecessarily difficult. He had previously edited it, but does not know if UE have the score with these changes. It won't take long to send the score from NY and then he will look over everything to make sure it is in order. He remembers making some changes to the solo part with Louis Kaufman, and would like to know if these changes are in the score and in the solo part. BM is still not feeling well even though spring is here.
