Leading English composer of his generation and a significant figure among late Romantic European musician. ALS, one page, both sides, 4.5 x 7, February 13, no year. In full, “Many thanks for the Echo I think the note’s excellent and there’s nothing from any point of view to complain about. Your operatic note: what I perhaps unnecessarily pointed out was the veiled reference to German street bands: this I thought ‘rather cheap’ and not up to the level of your other notes you forgave me this remark I think!” Small stain to first page and ink slightly showing through from opposing sides, otherwise fine condition.
