Content	This content was automatically translated from the original language. The original content is available by clicking the link below. Paul Sacher sděluje Erwinu Steinovi, že vlastní rukopis houslového koncertu Bohuslava Martinů, aby mohl zjistit, zda se jedná o dotazované dílo [CONCERTO DA CAMERA, viz ID 5848], potřebuje znát začátky jednotlivých vět z klavírního výtahu u ES. Nerad by dával rukopis z ruky, může jej však nechat nafotografovat, takové kopie jsou ale velmi drahé. Show AI translation Paul Sacher informs Erwin Stein that he owns the manuscript of Bohuslav Martinů's violin concerto and needs to know the beginnings of the individual movements of the piano excerpt in ES in order to determine whether it is the work under question [CONCERTO DA CAMERA, see ID 5848]. He would not like to give the manuscript off-hand, but he can have it photographed, but such copies are very expensive. Show original
Transcription of the letter	Dear Mr. Stein, January 7^th 1949 In reply to your letter of January 4^th I can inform you that I am in possession of the MS of a violin concerto by Martinu. Whether this happens to be the same I do not know. If you let me have your piano score or write down the beginning of the movements, I could tell you. I do not like to give the MS out of my hands but could have made a photocopy of it. The expenses for it are very high though. Yours sincerely Erwin Stein esq. c/o Boosey & Hawkes Ltd. 295 Regent Street London W.I.
