Translation:
Dear Dr. Bernoulli!
Your card has been forwarded here - I'm only now able to send you the desired proposals
for the orchestral concert, I ask you to choose between Brahms in D minor and Liszt in A major.
As a solo number I suggest, 2 Chorale Preludes - Bach-Busoni, Nocturne in D flat major and Polonaise in A flat major—Chopin, (at 17 min.)
As a solo number in chamber music, I would prefer to play one of the following, Beethoven op 57, op 109, or the C minor, or the Handel variations. Will the quartet require a pianist. Also, I would like it best if you choose something yourself - my particular favorites are Schubert, Cesar Franck - also Brahms - but as for singing, I would like to leave that to your choice.
Would you be so kind as to share your trip with me……
I'm really looking forward to getting to know Basel someday…….
