Content and physical description
ContentBM thanks André de Blonay for his letter, sends the requested information and apologises for the late reply. The score and parts of the STRING QUINTET were published by Sirène Musicale in Paris. The STRING SEXTET exists in manuscript, but unfortunately BM does not have the parts, which are now in the hands of the Brussels quartet Pro Arte; perhaps they could provide them for their concert. BM has nothing new at the moment, but does highlight works that have not yet been performed in Switzerland: the STRING QUARTET No. 2 and the STRING QUARTET No. 3. If BM is going to write a new chamber work, he will let AdB know. He is now about to compose a CONCERTO FOR HARPSICHORD AND SMALL ORCHESTRA (strings, flute and piano) for harpsichordist Marcelle de Lacour.
