    "… Miguel B."The postcard has no address. It was probably attached to some other document or letter.

Commentary

  • 1.
    "… 1976 at the earliest"Neither the content nor postal information allow this postcard to be dated. The fact that it is written in English suggests that it was probably written after the period 1970-1975, when Barnet and Henze wrote mostly in Spanish. Since this postcard is unaddressed, it was probably sent together with another letter.

    "… some more of your music?"Henze often sent Barnet records and scores, see for example his letter of 8 October 1980.
