Provenance
Kenneth A. Lohf.
Summary
Sending him a script "for the simple but sufficient reason that I like your music, and because you have devoted a Scena, 'The Enchantress', to a similar theme"; describing his vision for "this conversation piece," and noting that it "invites an exploration of the intersection of music and talk"; emphasizing that he does not "want this letter to contain a request or a proposal."
