Meantime, he was looking ahead to a batch of forthcoming performances of his works -including Musique pour Lisbonne, a chamber piece that he has composed especially for this spring's Gulbenkian Festival in that city. As for the New Orleans piece, Milhaud was plainly puzzled; Torkanowsky, he said, had told him only that the performance of it had been "delayed."
