Content and physical description

Content	Letter of 20.12.1961 [returned?; illegible passage]. So she could not answer fully the list that she submitted [illegible passage] here, the score. 1. CONCERTINO FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA. Not sure, but probably edited by Schott in Mainz. 2. CONCERTINO FOR PIANO (left hand). Its editor is the Music Fund. 3. KYTICE also by the Music Fund. 4. SEXTET FOR PIANO. She thinks that one is not with anyone - she would like to find out. 5. I. PIANO CONCERTO. She entrusted it to a friend, Harry Halbreich, who can provide the manuscript and performance material. 6. and 7. Question II. and III. SYMPHONY [missing section]. 8. RHAPSODY FOR VIOLA will soon be published by Bärenreiter Verlag Kassel. 9. THE FOURTH SMITH QUARTET (1936). It is free for Panton to publish. 10. THUNDERBOLT P-17 is [illegible] in manuscript. [illegible passage]. This must wait until her visit to Prague on the occasion of the Prague Spring. She has other things she can submit to them, but not before an agreement is made between her and the authorities. 11. INTERMEZZO FOR ORCHESTRA. Its editor is Southern Music Publishing. 12. SONATA DA CAMERA. This will be published by Bärenreiter Verlag Kassel. 13. CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN, PIANO AND ORCHESTRA. This work is still in manuscript, but the same must wait, see above. 14. THREE CZECH DANCES FOR TWO PIANOS. Awaiting publication by Universal in [Vienna? missing part]. 15. FANTASY FOR TWO PIANOS. He does not know about this work at all. 16. FANTASY FOR THEREMIN. She might give this work to them for publication; she has a copy at home in Vieux-Moulin. She can send it. 17. 3 SONGS FOR CHILDREN'S CHOIR. Also free for publication. 18. 4 CZECH MADRIGALS (VENHODA). A decision on this must also wait until ChM's visit to Prague (B and G) [?]. It will be necessary to talk to Mr. Šebánek about many madrigals, he knows everything. ChM also has the manuscript of the HYMN TO SAINT JAMES FOR SOBRAN AND BARYTON, VIOLONCELLO AND VARHANY, he can bring it to them in Prague. They can also look at other manuscripts they could publish. She apologizes for not having more affirmative answers ("n'être pas plus affirmative"), but by the time she arrives in Prague they may have sent some contracts.
