Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů got the score of MIRANDOLINA (La Locandiera) and PIANO CONCERT No. 3 with parts. He is now asking for the mastersheets of MIRANDOLINA and a piano score, arranged by Leopold Spinner (probably). Further, B.M. asks if he can use the vocal parts and what would be the conditions if he found a publisher. Everything needs to be sent very quickly, he does not know where he will be next. B.M. asks if there is any translation of MIRANDOLINA. In case Ernst Roth is in Switzerland, he may call B.M..
Transcription of the letter

Avril 19. 1958



Dear Ernest:

I received the score of Locandiera and the third piano concerto with parts. Thank you. Now I would be very obliged to you if you could send me the rest, I mean the mastersheets of Locandiera and the piano score arranged by Mr. Spinner, I think. And to tell me if I can use this vocal score, which you certainly do not need now and what would be the conditions in case I could find a Publisher. Please send me all that very soon because I do not know how long I will be staying here and where I will be the next time. This is the last thing I ask you and then will not worry you any more, I hope. But please send it soon I need it badly. Was there any translation for Locandiera? If you come to Suisse do not hesitate to call me.



With my very best regards



Sincerely yours
