Content and physical description
ContentAlfred Schlee hopes to receive the score of FRESEK PIERA DELLA FRANCESCA soon. They will publish FRESKI without having to see it, and they will also try to publish the other BM works, no matter whether they are chamber music, oratorio or something else. They should talk about the terms of publication sometime. The material will be ready for the Salzburg performance. Immediately after the performance they will start with the publication. Rafael Kubelík had a car accident and is in hospital with broken ribs, but hopefully he will recover soon.
EPOS ON GILGAMES is of interest to them, if the score is finished, BM is to send it. AS will be in Vienna until mid-May, then going to Florence for a publishing congress. Could they meet somewhere at that time?
