Title	[Letter from Pablo Casals to Susan Metcalfe, Barcelona]
Date	1904-09-16
Creator	Casals, Pablo, 1876-1973
Subject headings	Casals, Pablo, 1876-1973
Place	Barcelona
Description	Casals has wanted to reply to Metcalfe's letter but for some reason, which he cannot understand, he has not been able to. He has seen his parents and his little brothers. Some idiot had told his mother that rumor had it he had died, which upset her greatly. As a result, she has not written to Susan lately, but will now. He has spent ten happy days with them, and will leave the next day for Paris. Several days before, he was visiting his birthplace, and heard two boys in the street singing one of his popular hymns. "I- was happy to see that they have not forgotten me." Later that evening he was welcomed by a choir singing his compositions and those of his father. "I had never appreciated as well as yesterday the purity, the simplicity, the naive freshness of this music of my father. Rarely does one hear such beautiful melodic shaping." He hopes to see Metcalfe soon.
