Content and physical description
ContentBetty Bean writes to Ernst Roth about Prokofiev's concerto, Milhaud's suite, Piston's symphony and Bohuslav Martinů's Sinfonietta Giocosa. BM is now in Paris, BB too. He sends BM's address. She gave this address to Ralph Hawkes, he might meet BM in Paris. He thinks it would be best for ER to contact BM directly, as there is no one in New York, as far as he knows, who could provide the information needed. He could also answer ER's query about the 2nd PIANO CONCERT (whether there is a piano lift). If BH is not planning to print the music of SINFONIETTA GIOCOSA anytime soon, would it be possible to get a reproduction? BB encloses a list of concerts in October-December 1947 and a list of loaned material.
