R. Kundera is to tell Mrs. Teulières and Roussel that ChM will negotiate with the Suprahon-Artia representatives at the end of January, once he is in Prague. However, she is not sure that he will succeed, as all 3 sonatas [Sonata Nos. 1-3] have already been recorded. He will return to Vieux-Moulin around the beginning of March.
In Prague she will be staying in a hotel near Charles Bridge, not far from Zrzavý's studio; he celebrated his 86th birthday in the summer, he is well, but can no longer paint, only some drawings; he will be glad to see her again.
To-morrow the Talich Quartet will play at the Church of St Jacques in Compiègne the SMITH QUARTET No. 2; it is one of the best quartets, she has already heard them in Paris at the Théâtre de la Madeleine, the audience would not let them go.
