Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks for the previous letter (March 3, 1958). Not all the explanations contained in it were digested by BH well, so he would like to propose his own solution. BM sees that ER (Boosey & Hawkes, London) is not very interested in MIRANDOLINA, so he asks for it to be relieved and returned. He decides how to deal with it further. Anyway, he would like to see the vocal score, which he never saw. He asks for it to be sent together with Rossini's Variations for Cello and Piano.
BM asks why only two copies of SYMPHONY No. 6 were sent to him.
BM is willing to wait for the release of SYMPHONY Nos. 2 and 3 (even though they were supposed to be ready a long time ago). He wants to have all the symphonies released by B&H.
BM can also take back PIANO CONCERT No. 3 if B&H is not able to release it soon.
BM writes that the ER should not contact Karel Šebánek in matters of his compositions. BM is able to find editors himself and would like to find some solutions for his older compositions, he does not want to waste time, which he already has little.
BM does not know how KŠ found out that he should go to Prague. There were more opportunities, but BM never went.
