Content and physical description
ContentBetty Randolph Bean returns the score and transparencies for TOCCATA E DUE CANZONI to Erwin Stein. Bohuslav Martinů had the opportunity to correct this, so BRB attaches his "errata list." BM is quite adamant about correcting the title of the composition and points out the missing dedication on the first page. BRB apologizes for the delay, but they had a great deal of difficulty contacting BM. The score and transparencies of Copland's Clarinet Concerto have arrived; they will correct them and send them back as soon as possible. [BM’s autograph list of corrections to Toccata e due canzoni is attached to the letter.]
