Summary/Abstract: This unique collection of letters form the last ten years of Bohuslav Martinů's life addressed to Zdeněk Zouhar is a key testimony to Martinů's works, life and relationship between the composer and the interpreter of his works who premiered the cantata The Opening of the Springs, the cycles Three Part-Songs and Three Sacred Songs and initiated the origin of the primrose cycle. This edition captures Martinů's specific literary style in authentic form, without corrections, provides facsimiles of letters and juxtaposes the correspondence with the composer's letters to his family, firends, performers, as well as the reminiscences of his wife Charlotte. A more detailed picture of the composer's last years is emerging.
