Description

A rare trio from Puccini—"Boheme," "Butterfly," and "Tosca"

Extraordinary triple AMQS on a light blue 6.25 x 9.75 sheet of his personal letterhead, inscribed at the top in fountain pen to "Jandor Klein," and signed at the conclusion, "Giacomo Puccini, 2.1.08." Puccini pens brief musical quotations from three of his most beloved operas, writing the titles above: "Boheme," "Butterfly," and "Tosca." Addressed on the reverse in Puccini's hand. In very good to fine condition, with light toning along the trimmed side edges. Immensely desirable and undoubtedly one-of-a-kind, this unprecedented triplet of musical quotations represents the sum of Puccini's most renowned, revered, and towering masterpieces.
