Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů also wishes you all the best for the New Year. Miloslav Bureš should have no regrets about his stay with BM in Rome, he was happy about it! Things are not going well with the premiere of the opera (Greek Passion?). He has finished a new composition [CONCERT FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA No. 5], and is dealing with neglected correspondence. Bureš is to greet Václav Trojan (he has written to him and sent him his records), he is sure that he will write nice music for Bureš's verses. He is happy about the success of Studanek [OTVÍRÁNÍ STUDÁNEK], he is looking forward to Dandelions [ROMANCE FROM PAMPELIŠEK]. The legend [LEGEND FROM THE SMOKE OF THE BRAMBORA NATI] (on the radio) has not been caught - so he has not heard it yet. He gave it to the publisher, he thinks the harmonica and flute will make trouble there. Bures has yet to look at Mikes' text, the plot is not quite clear. He's looking forward to Lípa. He heard about the festivities in Polička, he was happy about it. He is to ask at "Artia" - BM asked them for some Dvořák scores and got nothing for a long time. The translation of Gilgamesh [EPOS ON GILGAMES] would be difficult for Bures, he does not recommend him to undertake it (he also writes the reasons). He reads Eisner's The Temple and the Fortress, recommends it. Asks which good comedy of Klicper's he told him about in Rome. He is in touch with Šafránek. He greets acquaintances.

Mily priteli Buresi.



 



Dekujeme vam se Charlottoe za prani do NovehoRoku a take je opetujeme, aby vam prinasl hodne nametu na dalsi basne a hodne duvery v sebe. Jak vidim stale se trapite vasim Rimskym pobytem a nadarmo, nebot vite, ze jsme vas radi v Rime privitali a ja jeste mam radost ze aspon jste videl jiny svet a krasny a co se tyce meho casu, vubec s vami ztracen nebyl, ja mam stale dost casu na praci a tak jste mne nijak nevyrusil, prave naopak  udelal mi radost ze jsem vas poznal.[1] Tak tim jsou ty vase cerne myslenky zniceny. Ze jste pobihal, jak rikate, jako zajic to bylo samozrejme, ja jsem byl prave takovy kdyz jsem poprve prijel do Parize tak se zda ze je to logicke a prirozene. Rad bych vas uvidel zase.[2]



S premierou opery to nejde tak rychle jak bych si pral ale take na ni dojde.[3]



Trojan mi poslal mily dopis a jedo desky,[4] poslal jsem mu jen listek nebot prave jsem  dokoncil novou vec[5] a venuji se korrespondenci, ktera se mi nastradala za nekolik tydnu, tak mu za mne vyridte moje pozdravy, jsem jist ze vam napise peknou hudbu k versum.[6]



Jak vidim Studanky pokracuji v kariere, coz je dobre a doufam ze na ty ostatni take dojde. Tesim se na Pampelisky.[7] Legendu jsme bohuzel nechytili a tak to dosud neznam.[8] Dla jsem ji Nakladatelstvi a museli se domluvit s Kuhnem [Kühnem] jak to obchodne upravit, ta harmonika a fletna tam budou delat obtize.[9]



Co se Mikese tyce, myslim ze byste se po case na neho mel znovu podivat, podle prvniho dojmu ze cteni se mi zda ze neni dost jasne recena cela ta snehova zapletka.[10] Na tu Lipu bych se tesil mnoho.[11]



O slavnosti v Policce mam uz zpravy a mel jsem rake radost i kdyz jsem tam nebyl.



Prosim vas jsteli nejak ve styku s Artia, zeptejte se zdali dostali muj dopis, zadal jsem je jeste o nejake partiturky Dvoraka, mimo tech co mi poslali ale nemam od nich nic po dlouhou dobu.



Myslim ze preklad Golgameshe[12] by byl pro vas obtizny, protoze to je hudebni preklad jez musi jiti pod noty a je to vlastne expertni prace a tezka do cestiny.



Ctu ted Eisneruv Chram a tvrz, bajecna kniha, mel byste ji znat. Tak to je myslim vse prozatim v odpoved na vas dopis.



Rikal jste mi v Rime o nejake jine moc dobre komedii od Kli Klicpery, mysli, co to bylo?[13]



SE Safrankem[14] jsem ve spojeni a on toho o mne hodne vi.



Pozdravte Kuhna [Kühna] i pani  a vsechny zname.



Mejte se tedy moc hezky a hodne pracujte.



Se Charlottoe vas zdravime a mnoho stesti prejeme.      



vas 



B. Martinů
