Content and physical description

Content	Charlotte Martin is angry with GL [Germaine Leroux]. She has contacted [Max] Eschig about this situation. [Michel] Dillard is dead, maybe we can find out when MD handed over the manuscripts to GL. ChM is not going to Paris anytime soon though, so he doesn't have much information at the moment. ChM encloses the Moscow address of Henrietta Mirvis. [Zdenek] Zouhar asked ChM to send HM the CONCERT FOR TWO PIANOS AND ORCHESTRA. ChM is very pleased with the success of the GREEK PASSIONS, which will be performed the following season. If she goes to the Prague Spring she will bring letters and discs. The new method of selling manuscripts must be followed. She also received a letter from Dilia Publishing House, which sent a payment of 3000 crowns to Karel Šebánek. She is also happy about the good news concerning her book. She also wanted to contact [Maria] Dolanska, but unfortunately she does not remember her name, so she asks KS to contact her on behalf of ChM and also to make apologies. ChM has no information about [Harry] Halbreich. She received a call from [Didier] Duclos saying that the performance of JULIETTA will be delayed due to the illness of the singer playing Michel. The manuscripts of the songs that [Frank] Rybka has with him are still in the United States. FR was at the International Festival in Brno last year and will return them later this year. Nora Grumlik is going to Hanover to record a CONCERT FOR PIANO, PIANO AND ORCHESTRA. The score was obtained from Universal Edition. Universal Edition claims the score of CONCERTA DA CAMERA. However, LG needs the score for the next season when it will perform the work with [Paul] Sacher. ChM asks KS to get back to LG. ChM writes to [Alfredo] Schlee, whom he pays to allow LG to have the score. She is told at Suise that she must contact Novotny regarding GL's manuscripts. ChM has also contacted [Jean] Leduc but has not yet received a reply.
