Content and physical description
ContentPaul Sacher asks whether Bohuslav Martinů's TOCCATA E DUE CANZONI, which he premiered on 21 January [1947], and Igor Stravinsky's Concerto in D minor for string orchestra have already been published as score and parts. The score of the American works, which BH wrote about on 27 November [1946], has not yet arrived. PS hopes it is not lost.

               Martinu Toccata e due Canzoni (1946)



               The score of American pieces which you announced on your letter of November 27th have not yet reached me. I sincerely hope they are not lost, it would be a pity! [...]
