Content and physical description
ContentHe had hoped to achieve more positive results to interest "local" music circles in BM's works; it was not going to go so fast; he had received a reply from Klemperer a "week" ago that he could not place The Tempest in his 1929/30 concerts because he had too many commitments; also regarding Three Wishes, he is not to contact Klemperer until the end of September; he has sent the manuscript of Lamentations to Tietjen, the general superintendent of all three opera houses in Berlin; he asks Tietjen to give Lamentations to Furtwängler and to offer Three Wishes to the Charlottenburg Opera House, where Furtwängler is the principal conductor; Kleiber has left and will return on 1.11; of the conductors in Berlin, 'hardly anyone' remained over the summer; Burkard also left for Baden-Baden, where '25.This year the festival will start"; two acts of the Three Wishes have been completed in rough translation, but he had to interrupt his work; "I am complying with a higher wish by hastily translating 'Conversations with T.G. Masaryk' "; this does not interfere with the negotiations on the placement of the BM compositions; he tells Dr. Braberger about his efforts to promote the BM "here"; Branberger admits "that Germany is more grateful to our composers than other countries"; H. recommends asking the Ministry of Education to support a stay in Berlin for "some time"; considers it necessary to gain personal contacts in Germany; "Prof. Hába can serve as a model in this respect, he is known and recognized in Germany almost as a German"; so far, the score of Three Wishes has run out.
