Initialled autograph letter by Albert Einstein correcting the work of a graduate student who would become a prominent member of the theoretical physics community. Turkish physicist Behram Kur uno lu 1922-2003 studied in Edinburgh and completed his doctoral work at Cambridge under Paul Dirac during the late 1940s and early 1950s. He specialised in relativity and unified field theories participated in the discovery of two neutrinos and founded the Center for Theoretical Studies at the University of Miami. In his initial letter to Einstein written on November 24th 1950 Kur uno lu writes that he is 'enclosing you a note on the possibility of a slight modification of the unified field theory. I shall be very grateful if you can kindly read it. I hope it is not inconsistent with the ideas of the theory. I apologise for disturbing you'. Einstein replies in detail on the verso of Kur uno lu's letter returning it and the accompanying manuscript no longer together with the letter with a covering note by his secretary Helen Dukas. Einstein writes 'Equ 1 is not solved by 5 or 6. You have overlooked that not both equations. can hold. I have defined the contravariant y by the first of these equations - The non-existence of a practical solution for the T is no logical objection to the theory. The really problematic point of the theory lies in the compatibility of the equations for the T. E.' In 1952 Kur uno lu published a paper in the Physical Review 'Gravitation and Electrodynamics' in which 'Einstein's unified field theory is modified and some of the physical implications of the new theory are examined' Physical Review volume 88 number 1369 December 15th 1952.

Einstein the most celebrated scientist of the twentieth century was also a lifelong and devoted musician a gifted violinist who adored Mozart and revered Bach and who once said that had he not been a scientist he would have become a musician and that the greatest joy of his life had come to him from his violin. A passionate champion of Jewish cultural and educational causes and of the young State of Israel he was among the founders of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and lent his name and moral authority to the building of its institutions. The presentation of Avidom’s score took place during the first American tour of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in the opening months of 1951 when the orchestra led by Leonard Bernstein and Serge Koussevitzky gave fifty-three concerts in forty cities.

Menachem Avidom 1908-1995 was one of the founding figures of modern Israeli classical music. Born Menahem Mahler-Kalkstein in Stanislaviv then part of Austria-Hungary he was reportedly a cousin of the composer Gustav Mahler. He studied in Paris and spent several years in Egypt an experience that led him to look beyond the European traditions in which he had been trained. In 1939 he wrote arrangements for the Yemenite-Jewish singer Bracha Zefira and the encounter kindled a lasting interest in fusing Middle Eastern and European musical idioms. In 1944 he produced a series of works in this new style that shaped the rest of his career and helped lay the groundwork for later Mizrahi and Sephardic composers in Israel. From 1945 he served as general secretary of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and in 1955 he was named director of ACUM the Israeli performing rights society. His Symphony No. 2 “David” drawing on the biblical shepherd king is among his best-known works and the present copy presented and inscribed to Albert Einstein is the most storied of its kind.
