Autograph letter signed from Ottokar Novacek to Adolph Brodsky

Scope and Content

Novacek writes a begging letter requesting the five pounds a few days before the 1st [of November] since he has lost 20 marks in the most stupid way. Novacek plans to write many compositions this winter. Petri from Dresden admired the E flat major Quartet and Busoni will play his piano concerto, somewhat altered, at the Lisztverein in Vienna. Borgstrom is pleased with Novacek's third quartet, which he prefers to the E flat major.
