Dear Mr. Sacher,

Mr. Henze is on holiday in Africa. [Henze hatte kurz zuvor die Oper Der junge Lord und die Inselmotetten abgeschlossen; vgl. Autobiographie S. 251f.] Upon his departure he received your letter and asked me to tell you to please use the best guitar player possible for Cantata della Fiaba Estrema. In case you have difficulties in finding one in Switzerland, please write to Mrs. Renate Praetorius, 8 München 23, Kaiserstr. 42, for the address of a guitar player who is well acquainted with Mr. Henze's music und plays it frequently. his name is Ferstl.

Mr. Henze asked me to tell you that if you wish to play his work with solo strings, it is alright with him.

Best regards,
charles h smith
