Bereik en inhoud
Postmarked Staines; addressed to Trevelyan at the Marine Hotel, Criccieth, North Wales. - Assures Trevelyan that he welcomes improvements [to "The Bride of Dionysus"] at any stage, however late; as it happens the Theseus-Ariadne duet is 'still so unbaked in [his] mind' that all he feels tied to is the 'plan of fitting its structure to that of A's soliloquy on her awakening in Act V'. Trevelyan's 'bare account' of the changes he suggest make the old version vanish into 'fluff'; Tovey expects to get on 'much more vigorously'. He now intends to tackle the openings of Acts V, III, and IV. Trevelyan's sketch of the climax of Act V 'seems very promising'. Tells him again not to fear making any new suggestions, even on parts already scored. Will start on the final full score in August, and 'work at it full-speed till it's done. Till then alterations will still be possible'.
