Erwin Stein děkuje Paulu Sacherovi za dopis ze 4. dubna [1950]. Partituru Persephony znova urgoval a doufá, že dorazí do 25. dubna. Dostali korektury skladby Bohuslava Martinů SINFONIA CONCERTANTE z Ameriky, ale nikoli partituru, proto ES pošle jejich vydání po Velikonocích. Zjistil jméno kritika z National-Zeitung, ale nezná jej. Sólistkou v SINFONIETTĚ GIOCOSE byla Líza Fuchsová. Show AI translation Erwin Stein thanks Paul Sacher for his letter of 4 April [1950]. He has again urged the Persephone score and hopes it will arrive by 25 April. They have received the proofs of Bohuslav Martinů's SINFONIA CONCERTANTE from America, but not the score, so ES will send their edition after Easter. He found out the name of the critic from the National-Zeitung, but does not know him. Lisa Fuchs was the soloist in SINFONIETA GIOCOSE. Show original
Transcription of the letter	Ref. ES/GJ 6^th April, 1950. Paul Sacher, Esq. Schoenenberg, Pratteln (Basel). Dear Mr. Sacher, Thank you for your letter of the 4^th April. I have again enquired from the printers concerning the PERSEPHONE score and they have promised to deliver it on the 25^th April. Let us hope they keep their promise. We shall send the score to you immediately after receipt (in loose sheets). We received some corrections for the SINFONIA CONCERTANTE from America, but no other score. I will, therefore, send you our score shortly after Easter. As for the initials of the critic of the NATIONALZEITUNG, I have been told the name but I do not know anything about the person concerned. Anyhow, I will follow this matter up and give you first information. – The soloist of the SINFONIETTA GIOCOSA was Lisa Fuchsova, a very good Czech pianist living in England. Yours sincerely, [podpis]
