It was arranged at short notice. Nor do I remember which quotations of Schoenberg that I cited. / A paper I delivered at the International Alban Berg Symposium in Vienna in June 1980 was published recently. If you are interested, I can have a copy made for you when I return to Boston in Sept[ember]. Perhaps I can then respond to your other questions. / Did yo ufind the Columbia record of Berg and Schoenberg Cnncertos with the Paul Klee jacket cover? This is out of print - or do you have the Berg that I made wit Fritz Busch in Stockholm? / With best regards, Yours sincerely, Louis Krasner." (21933)
