Content and physical description
ContentKenneth Anthony Wright thanks for Bohuslav Martinů’s letter of the 28th June. He has explained [Marcelle] de Lacour that they have every intention of endeavouring to include BM’s HARPSICHORD CONCERTO with her as soloist when she is in London in the middle of November, however they cannot definitely promise. The final decision is only possible eight weeks beforehand, when the complete plan of the programmes for the week concerned is seen and budgeted.
