Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprálová attended a concert by [Josef] Páleníček and [Pierre] Fournier on Tuesday. Last Monday she saw Igor Stravinsky. With the rehearsed Beseda and the choirs of the VK they will go to England after Easter. She asks where [Ludvík] Kundera will perform her Bells [Variations on the Bells of the Church of St-Etienne-du-Mont]. VK then describes her two suitors, [Edgar] Hauner and [Rudolf] Kopec. Bohuslav Martinů is due to arrive today and will see him in the evening. She accompanied Líba [Houžvík] to the train yesterday. VK already has a recommendation [for a scholarship to Paris for next year] from Auguste Mangeot.
