George H. L. Smith sends Jascha Veissi a program booklet and looks forward to receiving the party [RHAPSODY-CONCERTA]. Asks if JV would like to say anything about the piece for the program text - e.g., whether B. Martinů wrote the piece for him, or did he just entrust him to perform it?

Transcription of the letter

January 14, 1953



Mr. Jascha Veissi

Scripps College

Claremont, California



Dear Mr. Veissi:



I am enclosing a copy of our most recent program book and and [sic] am looking forward to receiving the parts of the Concerto. I am wondering if there is anything you would like to say about the Concerto for the program notes. Was it composed for you or has Mr. Martinů simply entrusted it to you for performance? Any pertinent information will be most useful.



Cordially yours,



George H. L. Smith
