Content and physical description
ContentErnst Roth thanks Betty Bean for her letter [ID 8798], answering her questions about various compositions. He knows many works by Bohuslav Martinů, but the rights to many of them do not belong to Boosey & Hawkes. Suggests working only with those compositions that are or will be published by BH. Appreciates the list of BM compositions that BB sent him. He will need information on works he is not familiar with, such as TOCCATA and SINFONIETTA GIOCOSA (length, orchestration, availability of materials).
