Content and physical description

Content	Richard Klos replies late due to illness and business travel. Unfortunately, he still has little good news. The exporter abroad of the English edition of Charlotte Martinů's memoirs (translated by [Diederik] De Jong) would be Artia, not Supraphon directly. It has a full editorial schedule and requires high costs. RK will therefore negotiate further with Orbis and Odeon publishers. Translation of the book. photographs and condolences are now being studied with [Jaroslav] Mihule. JM recently organised a radio programme on Bohuslav Martinů. On 27 February [1975] the National Theatre in Prague will be the venue for the premiere of VESELOHRY NA MOST and ARIADNY. Has ChM already got [Lev] Ginsburg's answer? His testimonial would help push ChM's book. Supraphon says nothing about SONATA FOR TWO PIANOES, but Panton is very interested. RK asks ChM to send a draft. The piece would be published much faster. Has the QUARTET been found, which is with Mr Calve? They want to finally publish it. Panton will publish KYTICI this year with text in Czech, French, German and English and illustrations by Karel Svolinsky. Also in the pipeline is the publication of THREE CHILDREN'S SONGS and SCHERZ FOR THE CLAVIER. Panton has also placed several BM compositions in a sub-edition for North America with [Paul] Kappa of General Music Publishing. Finally, RK asks if ChM could come to this year's Prague Spring Festival.
