Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů responds with a delay. He has news from Charlotte Martinů about the Prague Spring Festival, she liked it in Prague, she is coming back this month. Thanks for the news about K. B. Jirák, has not seen him yet, will follow the addressee's advice. BM has returned from his holidays, not quite well yet, cannot work properly. BM needs operating material for SYMPHONY 5 by the beginning of December, it is played in the USA by Ernest Ansermet and Artur Rodzinsky. BM asks if EA has the score, will probably want to play it in Switzerland before performing it in the US. He could bring BM the performance material. Docs don't recommend BM to teach yet, so far he is avoiding people. He'll be back within a year or so for sure.
