| Popis: |
The monograph is the first volume of a forthcoming edition dealing with the correspondence of the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů with his family in Polička. This volume contains 61 of the earliest correspondence documents (letters, postcards and a telegram) from his student years at the Prague Conservatoire in 1906-1910 to the end of 1931. The correspondence is one-sided, only Bohuslav Martinů's letters addressed to his family have survived; the composer did not archive the letters he received due to the large volume of his correspondence. Despite this, these documents contain unique authentic messages in which Martinů himself comments on his life and professional journey. The letters are presented in the form of a diplomatic transcription and are supplemented by annotated notes. |
