Content and physical description
ContentSergei Koussevitzky is delighted that Bohuslav Martinů is composing SYMPHONY No. 3 to mark the 20th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. SK mentions Hans Heinsheimer, who has promised him the rights to publish BM's work. SK writes that while the Boston Symphony Orchestra can prepare material for the orchestra, it would be better if an editor produced it. But if BM has no editor at present, SK will write to G. Schirmer, Inc. to produce the material.
