Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks him for his advice on the commedia dell'arte, Nezval betrayed him miserably, so he turned to someone else, but it's dragging on. He asks Jindřich Honzl about a possible collaboration on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, he wants to do something different from Mendelssohn. JH's task would be to find a new scenic solution to which BM would submit. He goes on to describe the setting, it would be a world that is both fantastical and real. He would like to create the whole piece at least once with all the collaborators before going into the music. He envisions the decor pretty much the same with some variations - a field for Francis Music. He thinks he will have to return to Prague for good.
