Content and physical description
ContentAlfred Schlee thanks them for their letter of 3.5. Alfred Kalmus also wrote to them about his conversation with Bohuslav Martinů. AS is happy for BM to send them more compositions, see which they can publish.
They will definitely release an EPOS ABOUT GILGAMES. Paul Sacher wrote that he received the score late and therefore will not play EPOS until the 1956/57 season. Has the piece already been performed, or will Sacher's performance be a premiere? AS is now going to Switzerland and Italy. If BM was there, he is to write to Universal Edition, Vienna and they will pass the message on to AS. He will be in Vienna in June and July, then he goes on holiday.
