Henschel writes an interesting series of letters, largely with musical content concerning a composition for his correspondent, in part, 'I have not forgotten my promise to write some variations for your instrument and shall commence as soon as I have finished an Organ Prelude on a Hymn of All Saints on which I am at present engaged. I shall endeavour to make it worthy of your beautiful art' (11th June 1919), 'At last I am quite in earnest working on those variations! I have abandoned the idea of the Scottish Folksong and made a simple theme of my own which I herewith send you as I want to know if you like it….is the Key of E agreeable? I have already 3 variations sketched…' (30th July 1920), 'You will see I have changed the key to F which is really better in every respect. I hope you will agree with me…I shall take the liberty of dedicating the little work to you' (9th August 1920), 'I have made a note of your suggestion regarding the rests for respiration. There will be seven variations in all, the whole thing lasting about 8 or 10 minutes. I am greatly looking forward to hearing you play my little work' (23rd August 1920), 'Lady Sheffield, our dear hostess, would love to come and hear the piece (she is a charming woman & very musical) and I hope it will suit you' (6th November 1920), '…with an interpreter like you, my little work is sure to be a success' (30th November 1920), 'It is very good of you to play my little variations at your various concerts & I am greatly obliged to you & hope you will have a great success….As to the publication of the variations - - not a word from Chesters! Do you think a Paris publisher would take the little work?' (23rd January 1921), 'I am truly delighted the variations - thanks to your exquisite playing - have met with such success and thank you very much' (4th May 1921), 'I do hope you will be in England in October. It would be awfully nice to have that little concert at Broadway and I should love to hear you play the Bach, and my flute variations' (4th August 1924), 'I have just read Mme. Navarro's letter again and am sorry I did not follow my first impulse….and told you that, although she accepts your terms she finds them rather high. "Higher" (she writes) than Suggias or any other of the artists that play and sing here for me…." I think therefore it would be a very gracious thing on your part - and good policy too for the future if in writing to her you would say that…..you will be very glad to accept fifteen guineas….After all, Mme de N has been a very famous artist herself and all the best musicians love to play & sing for her' (17th August 1924), 'I send you here a little sicilienne with which Casals (it is originally for cello) has had a huge success in New York' (27th August 1924). Several of the letters are written in French and seven of them incorporate musical quotations of various lengths, each being corrections and suggestions to Henschel's composition and submitted to Fleury for this thoughts and comments.
