Sgambati answers his correspondent´s letter and states, in part `Your offer has been very welcome...In these dates we are busy with the weekly concerts. I would have liked to have accepted your offer....The Orchestral Society wants to perform my Concert for Piano and Orchestra again, it is the third performance this month and due to the high interest I can't renounce it. If yours was later I would have cheered your soirèe with my plan of performing two orchestral concerts in Florence ...I would play my Concert and one of Beethoven, moreover I would conduct two symphony poems of Liszt.... Perhaps we could also perform a chamber music concert with the Quartetto Romano but in this case we would need an impresario. I received an offer for four concerts in Milan with the Quartetto but I have some problems to get an orchestra. Please tell me if my project would be possible on different dates....´.
