Content and physical description
ContentBM is delighted that his works will be performed at the Carillon concerts and sends André de Blonay the requested information. Marcelle de Lacour holds the score and parts of the CONCERTO FOR CEMBALO AND SMALL ORCHESTRA and still has an exclusive on it next season. BM suggests to AdB that he could invite her to Geneva, MdL plays this concerto superbly and will probably take it to Prague; it would be better to work out the details directly with her, so he attaches her address. BM can also offer the STRING TRIO No. 2, it is performed by the Trio Pasquier and unfortunately not yet published. He has no other chamber works, all his time being taken up with work for the theatre and the Russian Ballet. But when the opportunity arises, he is happy to write a piece, the premiere of which he will reserve for Le Carillon. BM would also like to take this opportunity to ask AdB if he knows of a publisher who would be interested in his chamber works (String Trio No. 2, STRING SEXTET, etc.).
