Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů made all the corrections to the score [CONCERTA GROSSA]. He only has a copy for comparison and noticed that many things have been changed, especially in the piano. He probably should have corrected the manuscript once the copy was made. So he did his best to proofread and considers the manuscript they have in UE as definitive. He asks BM to produce the orchestral material according to the UE score; there are many errors in the material they have here [at BM]. He hopes they will produce their material at UE, but they should not use the material that was produced here, as the manuscript and BM's copy are very different in many points and would cause confusion. BM would like to be able to send the scores and new material to A.M.P. immediately, the material they have here is unusable. He asks if they are in touch with Ch. Munch in connection with the performance of [CONCERTA GROSSA] at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and in Edinburgh. During the holidays he will be in Paris at B.M. % Ch. Quennehen, 62, rue Pierre Charron, Paris 8. On page 39 he has crossed out several bars in the piano voice I and II. Thanks for the corrections.

NoteThe content is almost identical with the letter ID 4293, 14.7.1948.

At UE a german translation was evidently done. On one typed page, there are translations of two different BM´s letters (see ID 4293, 14.7.1948). In a top there is a german note: "A translation of both BM´s letters attached to the corrected score of CONCERTO GROSSO. 14.7.48".

On the left side of german translation, there is a german note in an unidentified hand: "This letter was recieved from Mrs. [...] on 26.4.49".
