I just came across Bartok 310/11, Bluebeard's Castle, mint condition (it
was in a collection I picked up a few years ago). No notes, but there's
a postcard inside.,.with 2 cents prepaid..that says "The purchase of
this record album entitles you to a free copy of a book containing the
full English translation, Hungarian libretto, and other information
regarding this work. Please fill in the information below, and the book,
now in preparation, will be mailed to you in February, 1955. Thank you."
Wonder if Peter Bartok still has copies of the booklet lying around? (In
Florida these days, not at 135 Central Park West, New York 23.)
I encountered a similar offer years ago and slipped the postcard and a
note into the offerer at a current address. Eventually, I received a
courteous response: no booklet, but an appreciative note.
I should try it again with some of the libretto offers from prerecorded
tapes where I already had the libretto from the LP release, so did not ask.
