Hello RZEWSKI

Thanks for your concert here in Copenhagen. There was a good and succesfull press on it. And I will make a radiosending of a high quality.
As you know we are fighting very hard against uninformed persons here in Denmark, it is much better in Sweden, there is a more fruitful atmosphere, for me to see created by Blomdahl, who is the man, sitting in the moneys over there. As I told you, he knows that if art is not art it will die it-self.
Do you know about any communist composers (I mean people, on other side, the east-side) who is working advanced, I mean at lest on the Darmstadt-ground, then I should he happy to know about them, and more happy if you could get any scores or so from them.
I send you the first of my knew kind of music, number II is finised, but it is created for chamberensemble. (fl. cl. cl.basso, trp. trb. one vl. and vlc. and some percussions) I send you some of my small happening-pieces, which Eric Andersen and I have performed here in the last two years together with many other things by Georg Brecht, Dick Higgens, Arthur Kopcke, Emmeth Williams, Robert Filliou and someone els. Hope you will enjoy-enjoy-enjoy yourself.

How about ’Manhattan’ nice beatles-rock. copulation without smile, sensualism on some meters, eyes away, deep contemplation, I do hope they had a nice copulation afterwards, the juice was there.

let me say
hope to meat
again
maybe in Cologne, March.
