Content and physical description
ContentMartinů should not be afraid of a film rendition [OPENING OF THE STUDIOS]. It will be a filming of children in costume as they perform the custom of opening the wells with the Kühn Children's Choir singing, reciting and solos in excellent interpretation. Karel Šebánek has not had the necessary news from Bohuslav Martinů or the works he requested for six weeks. KS wants to buy the piano excerpt of Jan Novák's CONCERTINA FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA for the Czech Music Fund so that he can make copies and orch. materials. There is also a need to create a piano lift of the Field Mass, but BM must give approval. The SPALER is already on the blanks and after proofreading by Karel Šolc, KS will have the orch. material created so that DILIA can lend it for performance. DILIA also asked for THEATRE BEHIND THE GATE, so KS referred them to Martinů in Polička. KS laughed a lot at [Maria] Prazanova's letter. She is very busy so apologizes for the late reply.
