Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů gives his consent to the filming, but he does not know whether the State Publishing House's consent is also required. Mikes will do [MIKES FROM THE MOUNTAINS], and now he wants to finish the opera Pastias [Greek Pastias], for which the theatres are already waiting. The intention to write something for the Czech Nonet has also been delayed. He regrets that he did not see the first film, "The Well". The Jakerls still regret the broken discs. BM wants to have new discs sent and would like to have KYTICI as well. Miloslav Bureš wrote that Legend [LEGEND OF THE SMOKE OF THE BAMBORA NATI] and Romance [ROMANCE OF THE PAMPELIŠEK] are to be released. BM does not know about this, but has an idea whether to publish Legend in score and also with piano lift. This would make it easier to perform given the difficulties caused by the instrument. BM would arrange the whole thing in the edition. Karel Šebánek wrote that there is a new edition. "The history with the lime tree is delightful", but Bures did not send him the book. How's the libretto going? If he's going to Polička, he's supposed to say hello to his sister. Mikes has a long exposition.

Mily Buresi:



 



Jsem znacne zpozden s odpovedi na vase dva mile dopisy a na prani. Snazim se ted vse dobehnout.[1]



 



Tedy ohledne toho filmovani vam ovsem davam schvaleni nevim zdali nemusite pozadat St. Nakladatelstvi take ktere vydanim dostalo urcita prava alejsem jist ze tam obtizi nebude.[2] Co se tyce Mikese udelam vam jej ale ted se vsechno zpozdilo tou moji operaci a tak nevim kdy se k tomu dostanu. Prace jde ovsem zvolna a hledim ted hlavne dokoncit svoji operu Pasije, na ktere uz divadla cekaji a i pro mne se to moc tahne, sama preruseni prijemna i ne, a tak musim tu skladbu dokoncit.[3] Take muj umysl napsat neco pro nas Nonet se tim zpozdil.[4]



Na kazdy pad mate muj souhlas pro film, doufam ze jej udelaji dobre, lituji ze jsem nevidel ten prvni film Studanek. Tesim se na nove disky doufam ze mi je poslou. Jakerlovi ze Svedska jeste dodnes lituji ze se jim desky prisly rozbite, jsou to hodni lide. Davejte tedy na to pozor a nechte mi je poslat.[5] Rad bych mel take Kytici.[6]



Pisete ze Legenda i Romance budou vydany, dosud o tom nevim.[7] Mam takovy napad zdali by nebylo vyhodne vydat legendu v partiture ale take s klavirnim vytahem dole cimz by se mohlo hodne usnadnit provedeni, jez by jinak se potkalo s obtizemi vzhledem k e komplikaci nastroju. Napiste co o tom soudite.[8] Celou vec bych ovsem dojednal s edici ale nevim kdo to vyda, psal Sebas ze je tam nova edice.[9]



Ta historie s lipou je rozkosna. ale myslim ze jste mi knihu neposlal a tesil bych se na ni.[10]



Co delate noveho, jak se vam dari libretto?[11] Napiste a pojedeteli do Policky pozdravte sestru. Mikes ma dlouhou exposici.[12]



      Mnoho zdravim   vas  



B. Martinů
