Dr Antonin Dvorak
Dear Sir
I would like very much to study the score of your “New World Symphony” - particularly with reference to themes used and I write to ask if there is any arrangement of it as yet for pianoforte. I know much has been said and written upon the subject of the development of an American School of Composition - and I wish all the information I can get upon this subject particularly in reference to your work in this direction.
Is there not published matter that I can obtain?
If I knew your publisher I would not trouble you personally.
Very sincerely,
Mrs. Flora M. Hunter
Indianapolis College of Music
