Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks David Diamond for the photographs that reminded him of their time together in Florence. The work on the opera [MIRANDOLINA] is very demanding. He describes the hardships of composing: you need to have a plan before composing, and he mentions the distrust of psychological conflicts in operas. Wonders how DD composes - if he has a synopsis of the plot, BM would be happy to send it to him, as well as the rest of the photos.
