The first step will take me to London in November, to give 3 concerts for the benefit of those orchestra musicians who were harmed during the unfortunate sequel to the \"German Opera\". Now, I am asking you, Dear Friend, whether would be willing to grace my program by participating in it? What I have in mind is the new Brahms Concerto in (B-dur) which would as an interesting novelty produce quite a strong appeal.\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"\"\u003eI shall be in London from the 8th - 16th November; the piano concerto would be placed in the second program. You would therefore have ample time to rehearse it. The fact that your participation would be for a most special pleasure requires no assurances on my part. I shall bring along the orchestrations. The orchestra will be very good since my friend Svendsen is giving me a hand in completing it, especially the wind instruments. Well, say yes! With My Most Cordial Greetings, Yours Faithfully.
