Leading French composer during the interwar period (1869–1937). ALS in French, one page both sides, 8 x 5, February 22, 1930. Letter to Irving Schwerké, the music critic of the Chicago Tribune, in part (translated): “I was pleased to learn…you had listened with pleasure the concert of Antwerp…by the German radios. Special newspapers were incorrectly transcribed, the titles of my works were: ‘Evocations' and ‘Psalm LXXX.’ [The former] consist of three parts, the last being with chorus. This work evokes visions of India where I have traveled before. The three parts are: Gods in the Shadow of Caves—The Pink City—On the banks of the sacred river….The Evocations, you have heard, are transcribed for two pianos, four hands.” In fine condition, with a trimmed right edge. From the collection of Irving Schwerke. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
