ORFF CARL: (1895-1982) German composer. T.L.S., Carl Orff, in pencil, one page, oblong 8vo, Gr?felfing, Munich, 26th October 1947, to Herr Decker, in German. Orff thanks his correspondent for their letter and remarks ?I?m naturally quite happy for you to stage "Die Kluge" as soon as possible ? in Munich, it certainly won?t be performed before March?, and continues ?As for *Der Tanz der Spr?den*, do whatever works best for you; personally, I think *Die Kluge* can be performed on its own, though I?m not sure if that would be appropriate for Regensburg. I would prefer it if you could take on the direction yourself, provided you have the time and inclination?. VG
