Paul Sacher s potěšením informuje Erwina Steina, že rukopis Stravinského Persephony již dorazill. Lituje, že nelze zakoupit orchestrální materiály SINFONIE CONCERTANTE Bohuslava Martinů, vysvětluje ES, proč by nakladatelství mělo v jeho případě učinit výjimku (skladba je dedikována jeho ženě Maje Sacherové). V partituře skladby jsou stále nějaké chyby, snad budou před finálním tiskem opraveny. Show AI translation Paul Sacher is pleased to inform Erwin Stein that the manuscript of Stravinsky's Persephone has arrived. He regrets that the orchestral materials of Bohuslav Martinů's SINFONIE CONCERTANTE cannot be purchased, and explains to the EC why the publisher should make an exception in his case (the work is dedicated to his wife Maja Sacher). There are still some errors in the score of the piece, hopefully they will be corrected before the final printing. Show original
Transcription of the letter	24^th November 1950 Dear Mr. Stein, Your Hire Department has replied to me on your instruction. I have the pleasure now to tell you that the manuscript score of Strawinsky’s “Persephone” has meanwhile arrived. Thank you so much for the trouble you have taken. Martinu, Sinfonia concertante: I would regret it very much if I could not buy the material. The Sinfonia has been written on commission and the composer has received a fee. Furthermore the work is dedicated to my wife (should not the dedication be mentioned in the score?). In view of all these circumstances I should think, there ought to be made an exception to your strict rule and the material be sold to me. Hoping to receive a favourable answer, I remain yours sincerely N.B. There are still some mistakes in the score of the SINFONIA CONCERTANTE. I hope they can be corrected before the final printing.
