Dvorak writes a publisher concerning the sale of copyrights for two of his compositions. Dvorak writes in full: Responding to your last letter from 26 Octob[er] 1890, I should be very glad to give you the copyright of the Sinfony as well as that of my Requiem, and I only beg to ask you how much you will offer me A) if you will get the copyright of the Sinfony and Requiem for Great Brit. only B) if you will get the copyright of the Sinfony (without to be limited) and for the Requiem, only for Great Brit. C) if you will get the copyright as well for the Sinfony and the Requiem without to be limited. The Requiem is finished (vocal score and Full score) and if you will please to look at it, I shall send it to you in a few days, when I get home from Frankfurt a.m. [am Main], for which place I leave to day. The two works Dvorak discusses in this letter are his Requiem Mass for chorus and orchestra, published in London in 1891, and his Symphony no. 8 in G. published in 1892 in London.
