Scope and Content

Nina reports that Olga Neruda and her sister, Lady Hallé, are in Kristiania; they should have come to the Griegs' that day but they will be playing Brahms, the Chaconne and all other possible things the following evening. The Griegs are overjoyed that the Brodsky Quartet has played Edvard's quartet. An Italian violinist, Armida Senatra, has given a few concerts but the Griegs have not heard her. Nina is delighted that the children [Tony Maaskoff and Alfred Barker] have written. The Griegs intend to leave Kristiania in the first half of March. Edvard has a concert in Kopenhagen; then Munich on 6th April, Berlin 12th and 14th, and finally Kiel on 26th. Nina is anxious about whether Edvard can cope with so much. Annie Halvorsen has had dreadful influenza. Nina is tired of the snow and ice. Dated 15 Feb 1907.
