Content and physical description

Content	After the great success of II. and III. Concerto for Piano and the cycle PETRKLÍČ by Bohuslav Martinů, they would like to publish some of his other works. Since they do not know if any of them are subject to another publishing contract, they take the liberty of sending Charlotte Martinů a list. If she agrees to hand over the rights, they will send her a finished contract immediately. These works are: 1. CONCERTINO FOR PLAVIER AND ORCHESTRA (credited: "Shebanek") 2. CONCERTINO FOR PIANO (left hand) AND ORCHESTRA (credited: "Šebánek") 3. "KYTICE" FOR SOLO, MIXED CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA (credited: "Šebánek") 4. SEXTET FOR PIANO AND WIND QUINTET (ref: "Šebánek") 5. I.
