Scope and content
S.Y. Zingara, off Ryde. - Thanks Trevelyan for the alterations [to the libretto of "The Bride of Dionysus"]; tells him that wherever there is a choice he will take the shortest possible. Lists readings which he is adopting at present, with further suggestions; reminds Trevelyan that he wants as little real alteration as possible, just 'a saving word or clause here and there'; and that at 'critical situations... simple & few words have most weight'. Is on a yacht with Hal Goodhart Rendel off the Isle of Wight, letters will be forwarded to him from Northlands. In a postscript, says that he would like to get Dionysus' new speech before writing Minos's, as his overture 'will be an instrumental version of it' and this in turn affects the beginning of the first act. Requests 'a vigorous emphasis in D's treatment of the world' so that there can be a contrast between the overture and the first chorus, and between Dionysus's two speeches; rather wants Ariadne's 'version of the Androgeos theme to be a climax'.
