Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprálová is glad that Václav Kaprál is better. She is to give him greetings from Bohuslav and Charlotte Martinů, Líba [Houžvičková] and others. On Wednesday she was at the dress rehearsal for tonight's concert, where they played compositions by Franz Schubert, Florent Schmitt, and the premiere of the CONCERTO [FOR VIOLONCELLO AND ORCHESTR] by Bohuslav Martinů, interpreted by Pierre Fournier, was heard with the greatest success. VK had planned to send her [wind] Trio to Vienna [to Universal Edition], where BM had also commissioned his [FOUR MADRIGALS], but she does not yet seem to have the instrumentation of the piece.
