What joy every time I write to you. How I remember you always! Ugné Karvelis came to Cuba and it seems that everything is going to get better. Tell me about your health, composition and love life. I am very well and I am writing a lot. Tell me, Henze, what’s true about the opera Rachel. I heard rumours that it had caused a revolution in New York. Inform me. I need news.

Commentary
-
"… After December 1972"This postcard was probably written after the difficulties regarding the production of La Cubana in December 1972, to which Barnet is alluding here.
-
"opera"recte "ópera".
-
"habia"recte "había".
-
"… revolución en New York ."Perhaps Barnet had heard (possibly via Enzensberger) about the difficulties with the production of La Cubana concerning the censorship of some political references. See the letter between Henze and Enzensberger of December 1972 and in particular Enzensberger’s letter to Henze of 11 December 1982.
