Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů would like to send the score of SYMPHONY No.3, which he has just finished. The performance could be at Boston Symphony Hall or Tanglewood. However, he has no contact with the Boosey & Hawkes label. He writes that Hans Heinsheimer has offered him an exclusive contract, but it does not cover the BM copy. BM will therefore arrange for the material to be ready at the beginning of the season. [Sergei Koussevitzky's note on the cover:] deeply appreciates the dedication [of SYMPHONY No. 3] and looks forward to performing it next season.
