Leading English composer (1857-1934) and a significant figure among late Romantic European musicians. ALS, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, April 16, 1895. Letter to Lois of Novello and Co., in part: "By this post I return proofs of the two part songs for Ladies' voices. Will you kindly see that some footnote goes in the first page of each of them to the effect that the violin accompaniments are procurable separately. It might be as well to print also a note (on the violin copies) something like the following: 'If the chorus is numerous these accomps. may be played by two or more violins to each part.'" Elgar adds a sketch of the second and third pages of the proposed proof. In fine condition.
