Smith by byl Thee Dispeker vděčný za bližší informace o skladbě B. Martinů RHAPSODY-CONCERTO, kterou s Cleveland Orchestra bude hrát Jascha Veissi. Pokud TD ví, kde se BM v současnosti nachází, mohli by vyjádření o díle získat přímo od něj. Také jej zajímá, zda je orchestrální materiál v pořádku a obsahuje dostatečný počet smyčcových partů (9-8-5-5-5). Není náhodou k dispozici ještě jedna partitura, kterou by mohl využít k analýze díla pro jejich programovou brožuru? Show AI translation George H. L. Smith would be grateful to Thee Dispeker for more information on the B track. Martinů's RHAPSODY-CONCERTO, which will be performed by Jascha Veissi with the Cleveland Orchestra. If TD knows where BM is currently located, they could get a statement about the piece directly from him. He is also interested to know if the orchestral material is in order and contains a sufficient number of string parts (9-8-5-5). Is there, by any chance, another score available that he could use to analyze the work for their program booklet? Show original
Transcription of the letter	December 10, 1953 [sic] Miss Thea Dispeker 35 West 53rd Street New York 19, N. Y. Dear Miss Dispeker: I should appreciate any information you can give me about Martinů’s Rhapsody Concerto, which Mr. Veissi is to play with us. Can you tell me where and when it was written and if Martinů had Mr. Veissi or any other particular violinist in mind? If you know where Martinů is at present, it might be possible for us to get a statement about the work from him. I am also anxious to know if the parts are in order, with sufficient strings. We need 9-8-5-5-5. Is there a chance that there is an extra score available that I could use in preparing an analysis for our program book? Sincerely yours, George H. L. Smith GHLS:g
