Scope and content

Jokingly claims the postcard shows 'the Shrine of St Jobiska'. Will send the 'old bundle' [of the score of "The Bride of Dionysus"] as far as the start of the symphonic interlude. Now starting the cave-scene; would increasingly like to 'set the Hecate passage after all', which 'musically as well as ethically' helps to prepare for [Phaedra's] big scene later. His hosts [Pablo Casals and Guilhermina Suggia] have just tried the first movement of a duet for two cellos which he is also working on.
