Content and physical description

Content

Universal Edition wants to know what pieces from their label Martin Stephani is planning for his concerts and they suggest a few to him. If MS does not already have Martinů's CONCERTO GROSSO on the program for this season, they strongly recommend it. This work is already performed frequently in Germany. UE often mentions Bohuslav Martinů together with Frank Martin, in this case mentions Martin's Petite Symphonie concertante, and writes "these two works are works that make the public fall in love with modern music". MS can commission the scores from Schott to view.
