Content and physical description
ContentSchott sends thanks for the score of the PARABLES. The third movement in particular is brilliant, so good that it could even be published separately, for example, under the title “La Désert” or “Navire”. Bohuslav Martinů should tell them in which language the title, introduction and mottos of individual movements should be. Time is now of the essence, so they should start to have the materials produced. Afterwards, there will still be enough time to trim everything at leisure. Schott apologises for writing in German, but he hopes that BM gets the gist of the letter.
