Content and physical description
ContentHans Moldenhauer mentions a great concert by Josef Suk Jr. in Chicago and is glad that they had the opportunity to talk briefly on the phone. He is sure that they can realize their project with the violin concerto [CONCERT FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA No. 1] through correspondence. He encloses part of the 1st and 2nd movements of the score, as well as the beginning of the violin part in the copyist's hand. He then quotes Halbreich's catalogue from 1968. Charlotte Martinů authorized him to arrange the premiere of the concerto. Because of his affiliation with Northwestern University, he would like the premiere to be held in Chicago and for Suk to also give the European premiere.
He also asks if he could provide his archives with any sheet music manuscript of his grandfather, Joseph Suk Sr. They would also like to possess some manuscript letters of this composer.
