Armenian-American composer (1911-2000) who ranks among the most prolific of the 20th century. Two items: an ALS, one page, April 20, 1982, in part: "Thank you for your kind words on my music. I write out the part for all the cellos—the main melody of the whole piece, out of which grow the chords and harmony"; and an AMQS on an off-white sheet, signed in black felt tip, "Alan Hovhaness," in which he pens several bars for cello from "Fra Angelico." In overall fine condition.
From the collection of Stephen Adamson.
