Content and physical description
ContentAlfred Schlee thanks for his letter of 20 December [1953]. They send him Perotino and also Mozart's "Krönungsmesse", "Ave verum corpus" and "Sancta Maria". Perhaps Bohuslav Martinů would also be interested in Monteverdi's "Vespers" and Vecchi's "Amphiparnasso". There is also a beautiful complete edition of Monteverdi, but it is mostly disassembled.
He gives the address of Editions Ricordi in Paris.
