Content and physical description

Content	This content was automatically translated from the original language. The original content is available by clicking the link below. Erwin Stein děkuje za dopis z 6. 10. [1950]. Bylo pro ně překvapením, že Bohuslav Martinů špatně označil čísla stránek v partituře SINFONIE CONCERTANTE. Naštěstí stihnou chyby napravit ještě před vytištěním partitury. Opravené sólové party tak zašlou Paulu Sacherovi během několika dní. Rukopisná partitura Stravinského Persephony bude PS zaslána ihned, jak p. Carisch obdrží tištěnou. Další informace se týkají kopie partitury Kantáty Profany Bély Bartóka. Show AI translation Erwin Stein thanks for his letter of 6 October [1950]. It came as a surprise to them that Bohuslav Martinů had mislabelled the page numbers in the score of SINFONIE CONCERTANTE. Fortunately they were able to correct the errors before the score was printed. They will send the corrected solo parts to Paul Sacher within a few days. The manuscript score of Stravinsky's Persephone will be sent to the PS as soon as Mr. Carisch receives the printed one. Further information regarding a copy of the score of Béla Bartók's Cantata Profane. Show original
Transcription of the letter	Ref ES/MAH 16^th October 1950. Mr Paul Sacher, Schoenenberg, Pratteln (Basel) Dear Mr Sacher, Thank you for your letter of the 6^th October. It was quite a shock for us that Martinu’s paging was wrong. He also put the rehearsal number “21” in the wrong place! The only good thing is that we could repair the damage before the score was printed. The parts are being corrected, and we shall send you new solo parts in a few days time. STRAWINSKY – PERSEPHONE I understand that the manuscript score will be sent to you from Messrs Carisch as soon as they have received the printed score. BARTOK – CANTATA PROFANA We got a clean copy of the score from Vienna, but the printing of the German and Hungarian texts is so cramped, that it is quite a difficult job to insert legible English words. You will receive a copy as soon as this is done. With kind regards, Yours sincerely, [podpis] ERWIN STEIN
