Content and physical description

Content	Charlotte Martinů has received an invitation from the National Theatre to perform THE GAMES OF MARY. Unfortunately, she cannot come for health reasons, so she will wait for the Prague Spring Festival. In Paris, she met Philippe Marietti, who sent Karel Šebánek all the pieces he requested, except for FANTASIA, which is not printed. ChM is eagerly awaiting the discs of the CONCERT FOR TWO PIANOS AND ORCHESTRA. NONET No. 1 is being recorded at Barclays. ChM is in contact with [Jan] Matějcek, who is helping her a lot. ChM has already sent ARIADNE, SOLDIER AND DANCER. It is necessary for KS to send THE VOICE OF THE FOREST and also operas that have never been performed in the United States: VESELOHRA ON THE BRIDGE and WHAT PEOPLE LIVE. THE MARRIAGE has already been performed in the U.S., so KS needs to send MIRANDOLINA and PLAYS ABOUT MARY, which can be requested from Dilia Publishing. ChM regrets that he cannot attend concerts by young artists who play BM music due to his health. She went to Paris to sort out matters with the Bärenreiter publishing house and also PM. They agreed that all BM compositions would be released by January 1970. ChM also received a letter from [Anna] Spacek and asked KS to contact Spacek. Next week ChM is going to Basel to see [Nora] Grumlik and [Jaroslav] Kolar in concert. He asks if KS has received the book by Harry Halbreich. He also asks that KS send Huybrechts the score of TWELVE ALEXANDERS, and adds his address. JULIET can be obtained by FH from Boosey & Hawkes in New York.
