| Content | Bohuslav Martinů is glad that after such a long time he received an answer from Ernest Roth. But the news is not good. He has new compositions and regrets that his contract with B&H has expired and that it cannot be renewed. BM met David Adams (B&H New York branch) and despite their long conversation, he still has questions about certain issues, which he leaves for later. BM asks ER to send him back his last work, which he refused. He will try to find a new publisher. So far, only the THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH and THE OPENING OF THE SPRING, which he dedicated to Prague (Artia), has been sent to him. BM still doesn't know for sure what the situation with the contract with Artia is. BM would like to find out what happened to LOCANDIERA score, and especially JULIETTA in Wisbaden, from where he has no news, only knows that it was announced as part of the program last season, but in the end it was not performed. If they are not interested in introducing JULIETTA in Wisbaden, he would like it sent back to Prague to make a copy of a single copy of the manuscript and create new orchestral parts. Again, BM begs ER for information and for sending his music. In May, he will be in Europe for a long stay and will move around Paris, perhaps they could finally meet and clarify some issues. |
