Busoni, to the conductor Oskar Fried ("Lieber, veehrter Freund"), asking whether, his Brautwahlsuite Op.45 will definitely be included in his programme and whether he will accept the dedication of a small orchestral work [apparently the Nocturne Symphonique, Op.43], stating that the day of its birth is quite uncertain, but if it gets that far it ought to be a male sibling of the Berceuse), Moscheles (in English, to Thomas Chappell, a letter of recommendation for the pianist and composer Charles Mayer), Goldmark, to the director of the Vienna Hofoper (?), apparently concerning his recently premiered opera Ein Wintermärchen), Sullivan (confirming an appointment in
Berlin), Reinecke, Pfitzner and Max von Schillings
...Ein kleines Orchester stück, (das im zwiefachen Sinne unterwegs ist), wollte ich, mit Ihrer guten Zustimmung, an Sie dedizieren. Würden Sie es annehmen? Noch ist es im Werden u. der Geburststag ganz unbestimmbar; wenn es aber hin gelangt so dürfte es ein männliches Geschwister der Berceuse sein...
