Content and physical description
ContentLetter with information about a concert planned by the Fromm Music Foundation. The concert will feature works by Bohuslav Martinů, Bernhard Heiden and Leon Kirchner; the fourth work has not yet been decided. [at the concert on 4.10.1956, the world premiere of the PIANO CONCERT No.4 INCANTATION] Would Leopold Stokowski be interested in conducting the concerto? He will probably play the Symphony of the Air orchestra. Alexander Schneider expresses LS's appreciation for the fine performance at the Library of Congress last December. AS hopes LS will accept the offer to participate in the concert.
