". . . I . . . ask that my concert be scheduled for November 1, and no later . . . .
"The . . . preludes are fine with me, but will you send the program to me again at Frankfurt, so that I can modify it. I have forgotten what I wrote that I was going to play. . . ."
The postscript: "Shouldn't I perhaps leave out the quintet? Perhaps I can wait and not come until the morning of the concert. How stressful is the quintet rehearsal? Also, if I don't play that, I can play a sonata by Beethoven . . . in addition to some little pieces by Schubert and my husband. What do you think? . . ."
