Content and physical description
ContentLudwig Strecker writes that Bohuslav Martinů is an internationally renowned name and they have had good experiences with him. BM asks them to decide quickly whether to accept his material for PARABOLAS. If not he would offer it to another publisher, probably Boosey & Hawkes. As they need international names, they would hate to see such a work fall into other hands. Besides, they like it and think it could be used. LS is interested in Wolfgang Fortner's opinion, both in general terms and in terms of BM's work. They also have to take into account that they can expect other works from BM in the coming years.
