Dear Denis,

I'm really sorry that the Violin Sonata isn't available in print yet.
We had hoped that the origination would have been ready in about June
(which it was) but then the composer was away for a couple of months
and couldn't start checking the work until quite recently.

I sincerely hope that we will be able to publish the Sonata before
the end of this year, and we're relying on our Russian colleagues to
make things happen as quickly as possible.

The Divertissement is certainly in our schedule, but if you're
desparate you can get an authorised photocopy of the composer's
original manuscript from the Kapustin Society at
kapustin_soc@....

We are trying very hard to get as many works published as we can, but
there are technical, practical and human "obstacles" to overcome,
which can prove quite cumbersome at times. It's one of the joys of
being a music publisher. But, looking back obver the past 4 and a
half years, we haven't done too badly I think!

Best wishes


Tim
