John Andrews clarifies the matter called SYMPHONIC FANTASIES. Around 1953 Bohuslav Martinů sent the score of SYMPHONY No.6 to Boosey & Hawkes, shortly after which he informed them that he had dropped the designation SYMPHONY No.6 and was calling the piece SYMPHONIC FANTASIES. BM went on to say that he had a special relationship with a section of music from JULIETTE, and since he would probably never see that opera again, he had originally intended FANTASY as a symphony, but FANTASY was not a piece in that category. Of course, the label "opera suite" cannot be used either. Later JA requested the text from BM for the program; he sent it to him with a request for proofreading before it was sent to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. JA enclosed the text with his letter in two versions - BM's original text with errors and JA's typescript, corrected copy.
