N.B. - The Division And Distribution Of The Score - So That There
May Be As Few Unnecessary Rests As Possible,
And that, where it
can be done (as, for instance, at the beginning of the Tritons'
Chorus, the Reapers' Chorus,
Etc), two sets of staves should be
printed on one page - I beg that this may be entrusted to Herr
Dorffel. I also do not wish the work to look like a conductor's
score on the outside! - and, before it is given into the hands of
the engraver or copyist, it is necessary that the parts where two
sets of staves come on to one page should be clearly indicated.
My copyist here has made a very careless scrawl of the
"Prometheus" score, and I have therefore taken other work out of
his hands, and have given him a good scolding. But there is no
time to have a new score written, and therefore Dorffel must
largely help out with the matter.
N.B. - The piano arrangement must be put below the score, as it is
in the manuscript.
Kahnt can publish the arrangement of the Reapers' Chorus sooner
or later, as he likes. The date of the Tonkunstler-Versammlung
can remain fixed for the 15th August. I think it would be
advisable for you to come soon to Weymar (perhaps at Easter), and
to come to a direct understanding with Dingelstedt, M[usic]
D[irector] Montag, and some others among those who are
principally concerned in the matter.
I would propose to you Dr. Gille, in Jena, as a lawyer, and a
zealous co-operator in this affair.
