Content and physical description
ContentJohn Burk expresses his admiration for Bohuslav Martinů's SYMPHONIC FANTASIES and sends his analysis of the piece. Olin Downes finds Burk's analysis inadequate and JB therefore asks BM to write his text for SYMPHONIC FANTASIES for them to print at the next performance of this work. JB encloses his attempt at a more detailed analysis should BM wish to add to or correct it.
