Paul Sacher informs Erwin Stein that he has received a letter from Bohuslav Martinů. BM has asked Boosey & Hawkes, New York, to review all performances of SINFONIE CONCERTANTE by 8 December [1950]. BM does not think this piece was performed in Paris. Only Rafael Kubelík has a copy of the parts.

Dear Mr. Stein,



               I have just received another letter from Martinu telling me that he has asked Boosey & Hawkes in New York to check all performances ot his SINFONIA CONCERTANTE until 8th December, date of the Creation in Basle.



               As to the performance in Paris, ha says it could not possibly be his Sinfonia concertante which had been  given in that town. There is no material existing yet, unless the only person, Kubelik, whom he has given the score, has copied the parts. The composer is however very anxious to know how you got hold of the information about his Sinfonia having been performed in Paris.



                                                                          Yours sincerely



 



Dr. Erwin Stein Esq.
