To Hungarian pianist, Theodoe Szanto (1877-1934). “I am involved in a court case with Harnonie, it is very important to me to know the exact truth about this matter, and I ask you as a friend that you tell me the absolute truth.” Delius then lists a series of questions regarding the case. How is it possible that you were engaged to play my concerto in Pest, and that the conductor Wengartner or Nedbal…had never seen the score. What material did Harmonie give you or send you from Berlin. Did you not take with you the score I corrected,,,Did you not try to play…your own version which you played in Leipzig and Halle-which could have caused the confusion...There are few mistakes in my original score, and there cannot be many in the parts…I heard from Schmid-Lindner and Mottl, who had asked for their impressions and any remarks because of the new printing which is due….” Delius concludes, “I already know that Harmonie offered you the chance to play the concerto in Pest according to your version….” Signed, “I await your news by return, Frederick Delius”.
