Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů hopes that the Boston Symphony Orchestra will record SYMPHONY No. 6, the concert was a big event and BM was very satisfied with the performance. BM leaves for Europe on May 2, and should be in Paris around May 9. ER should let him know about his time options for a joint meeting, BM wants to clarify some issues with him.
BM will write to Erich Leinsdorf and will arrange a joint meeting. BM will be at the American Academy in Rome next year and will try to promote LOCANDIERA there. The promised parts for the third act of the work still did not come to him.
BM came up with some other details to correct during the performance of SYMPHONY No. 6. He sends them to David Adams, who will then pass them on to the London branch of B&H. BM asks if they could bring them to the proofreading in London. After the success of the work at the BM Music Critics Awards, he is in a hurry with the publishing process.
ER is to tell John Andrewes that the final title of the piece is: "Dedicated to Charles Munch for the 75th Anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra." BM still doesn't know if Charles Munch will insist on the fact that it was commissioned by him to by listed. BM adds at the end of the letter that he thinks that ER should have kept their contract and greets in Czech "Nazdar".
