The Five Fundamentals of El Sistema

Dear Maestro Govias;

Please receive our kindest greetings on behalf of Maestro José Antonio Abreu and all of the staff here at Fundamusical Simón Bolívar.

We have reviewed your article titled “The Five Fundamentals of El Sistema,” and we are very satisfied with its contents.

Maestro Abreu himself personally read it, and wanted to thank you for your kind words on his project, he found it “impeccably written” and felt very grateful and impressed by your handling of the subject.

We will be very happy to receive a copy of the article once it is printed, as we feel it will become a very useful resource for all investigators on the subject.

As always, we remain at your service should you wish to further your investigations.

Best regards,

—
