Berlin W30, August 19th 1913 Victoria Luise Platz 11
Dear Miss Curtis,

I am trying to put something together for piano with orchestra on indian motives. As our conversations and your book have furnished l’energie initiative to my experiment, I take the liberty of asking you to accept graciously the dedication.

The piece was at first planned as a common Rhapsody, but in the course of working it has developed itself into a kind of Suite, or smaller Concerto, of which the first movement has been completed today.

I hope very much that you will not refuse my tribute.

With many good greetings I am always yours affectionately,
Ferruccio Busoni
