ALS in French, signed “F. Liszt,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, March 4, 1838. Letter to composer and music publisher Antonio Pacini, discussing his intention to publish a work with 101 compositions from across Europe. Liszt proposes to include a piece “of my style so that you can add my monosyllabic name to your publication.” He does not “know yet what would be right to send,” and requests Pacini’s ideas on the subject. Liszt then asks that it also be sent to music publisher Ricordi in Milan, who might be interested in buying copies. Intersecting folds passing through the signature, light show-through from writing to opposing sides, and a repaired area of paper loss to the last page from seal removal (affecting a few words), otherwise fine condition. A charming letter with interesting music content. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
