Content and physical description
ContentErnst Roth informs B. Martinů about finding mastersheets of the opera MIRANDOLINA (La Locandiera), which has been dispatched to BM that day.
ER further informs BM that he dealt with the composer's question about the performance of TOCCATA E DUE CANZONI, for which they provided material to Nice. However, performances apparently did not take place for other reasons. The ER mentions that Paris wanted material for SYMPHONY No. 4, which was not available at the time. ER is suggesting material to French Radio now that it is available. When he knows for certain that they want the material, he reserves one for them.
