Arrangements for concerts in Bonn: in March 1907, Strauss cannot commit himself for the winter, because there is a possibility of a two-month trip to America; his rates are 1000 Marks for a concert, 1200 Marks if there is a public rehearsal. By June, however, he is able to discuss the programme in detail, suggesting that Grüters himself conduct the Wandrers Sturmleid , because he is more familiar with the chorus, and also that because of the size of the orchestra it would be better to replace the Guntram overture with the Dance of Salome . In October Strauss confirms the details, repeating his suggestion about the conducting of the Sturmlied because of the difficulty of rehearsing the chorus: 'The orchestra is a more easily flexible material and easy to mould to one's individual wishes in one to two rehearsals'; he is delighted to hear that an orchestra of 100 is available for the Domestica and the Dance of Salome ; a letter of 4 November gives details of his arrival, and refers to his programme in Berlin. In January 1909 Strauss regretfully declines a request for scores of some of his lieder : 'Wiegenlied and Muttertändelei are actually manuscripts and as such are the private property of my wife', and he has already refused to send the scores to many other singers.
