Description
Letter in German to the music writer and critic Calvocoressi (1877-1944). Bartok writes about the talented young Hungarian violonist Zoltan Szekely (1903-2001) with whom Bartok already had played in public. Bartok hopes everything is going alright with Calvocoressi from whom he lately heard very little. Székely became a friend of Bartok and was the one to request the composition of Bartok's Second Violin Concerto and its dedicatee as well as performer at its premiere in March, 1939.
