16 October [1950] is already a very tight deadline for the delivery of materials for Bohuslav Martinů's SINFONIA CONCERTANTE. Paul Sacher asks Erwin Stein if it could not be sooner. The Durata of the piece, as mentioned by EC in a previous letter [BH 1950-08-02a], seems too short to PS.

Transcription of the letter

[...] Martinu, “Sinfonia concertante”: 16th October is the very latest delay on which we should be in possession of the material. If you can possibly let us have it earlier, please do. I take it that a full score goes together with the material, although I have a private one.



                Duration of Sinfonia Concertante: 12 to 15’ seem definitely too short an estimation for this work.
