Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinu has not got any news from Ernest Roth for a long time. He would like to know if ER will take his latest scores. He sent THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH scores through the NY branch, and Paul Sacher wants to know if ER will release them. BM also sent the cantata THE OPENING OF THE SPRING, which they want to publish in a luxury edition with pictures in Prague. Martinů would like to publish this work in Prague, also considering that ER has a contract with Artia. BM asks ER to comment on his plans with his scores and asks what happened to the scores for LOCANDIERA and THE ROCK. Martinů has no information about JULIETTE, even though it was on program. He does not know what will happen to their contract, which expires this year. Rafael Kubelík is interested in LOCANDIERA, ER should contact him. BM dedicated THE FRESCOES OF PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA to Kubelík. ER should write at Martinu’s address in the Great Northern Hotel as soon as possible.
