Erwin Stein děkuje Paulu Sacherovi za dopisy ze 4. a 9. srpna [1950]. Říkal tiskařům, aby sólové party SINFONIE CONCERTANTE Bohuslava Martinů byly hotovy dříve. Není si ale jist, zda bude možné zaslat celou partituru (kromě té, kterou PS již má). Ohledně duraty skladby souhlasí ER s PS a zvolí 20 minut. Show AI translation Erwin Stein thanks Paul Sacher for his letters of 4 and 9 August [1950]. He told the printers that the solo parts of Bohuslav Martinů's Sinfonia Concertante should be finished earlier. He is not sure, however, whether it will be possible to send the whole score (apart from the one PS already has). ER agrees with PS about the major of the piece and chooses 20 minutes. Show original
Transcription of the letter	Thank you for your letters of the 4^th and 9^th August, which I found in my office on the way from Salzburg to Harewood. MARTINU – “SINFONIA CONCERTANTE” I have told the printers that the 16^th October will be sufficient for the delivery of the parts, except for the solo parts which will arrive a fortnight earlier or even before that. However, I am doubtful whether we shall be able to send you another full score in addition to the one you have already received from us. We are trying to have the score printed by the date of your performance but it will not be possible to have it much earlier. As for the duration, I think we can safely give this as twenty minutes. [...]
