Wolf-Ferrari asks his correspondent to send him some scores as soon as possible so he can study them "lovingly" rather than superficially.
"I had already sent my Venice address to Via dei Greci, Rome, and from there they had already answered me, telling me that they would have sent the scores just as soon as [Arturo] Toscanini had released them ...The scores are really a lot. They should get to me right away so I can prepare with ease ... I will need at least twenty days so that the examination would not be too superficial, but rather, loving."
