Jan Novák thanks Eugene Zámečník for writing and Klára [Nováková] thanks him for the notes. He has not yet finished the Dido piece, but sends EZ a new piano sonata. JN mentions that they were on a trip in Italy and also looking for a new car, so he didn't have much time. He is now enjoying composing for pantomimes. He recently heard Firkušný's performance of Bohuslav Martinů's CONCERTO FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA No. 4 (INCANTATION) on the radio and describes it as divine music. JN puts BM in the same category as, say, Mozart, Haydn or Dvořák. JN believes that the greatest virtue for a composer is diligence and realizes how much time he has wasted.
