Content and physical description

Content	Robert Vannoy thanks you for your letters of 11 February 1972 and 8 October 1971. RV informs Miloš Šafránek about his former life. RV once met Florian Domascheditz and his wife, who ran an antique shop. Later he bought the entire music collection from them. From it, RV sent Šafránek a score of the piano piece B. Smetana, which was originally from Prague. He also sent two pen drawings in memory of B. Martinů and an inventory of recordings by Czechoslovak composers in his collection. RV does not know many contemporary composers from Czechoslovakia, preferring more emotional, less formalistic music.
