Content and physical description
ContentSergej Kusevický has learned that Bohuslav Martinů will end his collaboration with Princeton University this year. It seems to him that this loss will be enormous not only for Princeton University but also for other American universities involved in music. He highlights BM's contributions, which are countless in his three years at the university. He urges the university to refrain from terminating the contract with this important composer.
