Content and physical description

Content	Bohuslav Martinů considers the Clavier Quartet unsuitable for the Budapest String Quartet, and he himself wrote it for the Chamber Music Guild Quartet. Rather, he will try to write another piece for the League of Composers concert for the previously mentioned scoring: flute, violin and piano [MADRIGAL SONATA]. At the end of the letter he asks C. Reis to let him know if she agrees with his proposal.
