Item 51 - Letter from Sophie Weisse to Elizabeth Trevelyan

1 item

Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey. - Donald [Tovey] has just come from London with an invitation for them both to dine with Sir Hubert Parry on Tuesday then hear Donald's [piano] concerto and the rest of a 'lovely Programme'; asks Bessie if she could therefore come on Wednesday instead. Agrees with Bobbie about Donald's 'returned vigour' and knows his work is 'in the grand manner both in conception and finish'; hopes if his pieces are all published now and 'make a splash' they will 'tide over' till the opera ["The Bride of Dionysus"] gets done. The concert is at the Royal College of Music; is not sure whether they sell tickets.
