Erwin Stein tries to find the score and material of Bohuslav Martinů's CONCERTA DA CAMERA. Since Paul Sacher premiered the piece, he asks him if he has a copy of the score. Could he possibly send it? Is it a manuscript? ES has a piano excerpt made by Paul Aron which they would like to publish, but first they would like to look at the score. ES is looking forward to a meeting in February [1949].

Transcription of the letter

Mr. Paul Sacher,

Schoenenberg,

Pratteln, Basle.

Switzerland.



 



Dear Mr. Sacher,



               I wonder whether you can help us in the following matter. We are trying to trace everywhere the full score (also material) of the Martinu CONCERTO DA CAMERA, for violin and string orchestra (1941). I believe you gave a performance of this work some years ago and I am wondering whether you have a copy of the score. If so, could you let us have it? Is it a MS? I have here before me a version for violin and piano, arranged by Paul Aaron, which we should like to publish, but we would first have a check it with the score.



               Thanking you in anticipation for your trouble, and with best wishes for the New Year,



                                                                          I am,



                                                                                         Yours sincerely,



                                                                          [podpis]



                                                                          ERWIN STEIN.



[rukou ES:] looking forward to seeing you in February
