Content and physical description

[1950]. Mezitím se PS dozvěděl od Bohuslava Martinů, že ona nejistá skladba, které byla provedena v Paříži, nebyla zřejmě SINFONIA CONCERTANTE, ale SINFONIA GIOCOSA, protože BM partituru dosud ukazoval pouze Rafaelu Kubelíkovi. BM souhlasí s tím, aby PS premiéroval SINFONII CONCERTANTE 8. prosince [1950] v Basileji. PS proto prosí o výtisk partitury. Rovněž se připomíná se slíbenou partiturou Persephone Igora Stravinského. Show AI translation Paul Sacher thanks Erwin Stein for his letter of 27 January [1950]. In the meantime, PS had learned from Bohuslav Martinů that the uncertain piece which had been performed in Paris was probably not SINFONIA CONCERTANTE but SINFONIA GIOCOSA, since BM had so far shown the score only to Rafael Kubelík. BM agrees that PS should premiere SINFONIA CONCERTANTE on 8 December [1950] in Basel. PS therefore asks for a copy of the score. He also recalls the promised score of Igor Stravinsky's Persephone.

Transcription of the letter	10^th February 1950 Dear Mr. Stein, Thank you for your letter of 27^th January. Meanwhile I hear from Martinu that he does not believe the creation of his Sinfonia concertante to have taken place in Paris. He thinks there must probably be a confusion with his “Sinfonia giocosa”. He never showed the score of the “Sinfonia concertante” to anybody but to Kubelik, who must till be in possession of one copy. Nevertheless you had perhaps better ask for precise information from Paris. Martinu agrees to my giving the Creation of the “Sinfonia concertante” on 8^th December 1950 in Basle. Will you please let me have a copy of the score. In spite of your amiable intervention I have not received a newly printed score of Strawinsky’s “Perspephone” yet. Would you be so kind as to remind the person concerned of it. I do not mind having it in loose sheets. I can have it bound here as well. The earlier I get it the better it is. Thanking you in anticipation, I remain your sincerely Dr. Erwin Stein Esq. c/o Boosey & Hawkes 295 Regent Street London W/1
