No Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. A typed letter signed by Ernst Krenek, 3rd April 1939, on Alamo Hotel headed paper, in Colorado Springs. The composer writes to a Mr. Abraham in German. He apologises that he hasn t the time to fully answer his correspondent s questions, but recommends an article about him by Dodd, Mead & Co in New York. It was written by Dr. Heinsheimer and corrected by me, so it is absolutely authentic and also materially sufficient. There is also an almost complete, at least sufficient, list of my works. I think that this work will be accessible to you. Krenek then goes on to list works of his that are not included in the aforementioned article, including his 12 Piano Pieces and Suite for Violoncello solo. He also adds, in English, a biographical note, Appointed as professor of music at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. 1939? . In fine condition. A year prior to writing this letter, Krenek had emigrated to America, having been (incorrectly) named as Jewish by the Third Reich, and thus characterised as a degenerate composer.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Slonimsky, Nicholas (1894 - 1995) A typed letter signed by composer Nicholas Slonimsky, January 5th 1956, to Mr. Abraham. He opens, Gretchaninov died day before yesterday. I enclose his obituary in the New York Times. He woul dhave been gratified by the extensive coverage and the picture. During the last few weeks of his life, he could hardly recognize people and was not coherent. He died of old age, without ascertainable terminal illness. Incidentally, he was not married to Maria Grigorievna. His first wife lived on till about 1937, and would not give him a divordce. So while everyone thought he was divorced and was married for the second time, this was not the fact. The quotation in the New York Times from his memoir is in reality an extract from my translation of his foreword to his autobiography. Signed in fountain pen ink, and sold together with the newspaper clipping that is mentioned. Two paper-clip stains, and some patches of staining, otherwise fine.

No Binding. Zustand: Good. Ansermet traces the roots of Stravinsky and Ravel in works of Rimsky-Korsakov A two-page autograph letter signed by Ernest Ansermet, 8th August 1957. The conductor writes to a Mr. Boas, noting, Unfortunately I have here no scores, no documents and our librarian is in holiday, so that I am unable in this period to write a note on the Rimsky scores. Please let it write [sic] by your usual redactor, but you could print him the following remarks: Christmas Eve is interesting not only as one of the more advanced works of Rimsky, but as we find in it many musical patterns used later by Stravinsky, namely the harmonies on which Firebird and especially Katschei dance is built. The same can be said from Sadko, where we find the first melodic motif (diminished fourth) from Spanish Rhapsody - Ravel. Dubinushka is interesting because this popular song was sung during the revolution in 1905 and for this reason the Rimskhy work was prohibited by the government. Performance was not allowed. Some edge creasing, otherwise in fine condition. A letter of decidedly interesting musical content.

No Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. A typed letter signed by Graham Greene, 9th May 1963. He writes to a Mr. Ronson, ?amused by your quotation from Elizabeth Bowen in connection with Virginia Woolf?s Orlando, where Mrs. Woolf made the historical howler of putting a dome on St. Paul?s before the Great Fire! I certainly plead guilty to the mistake about B.O.A.C. and I can?t think how I made it. It should of course be a poster of B.E.A. and I shall change it accordingly when the story is published in book form. My own impression was the the poster was used in the last seven years any way and I have no particularly period in mind for Mortmain. Your second point I think is not a very valid one. I could show you the scar of a cigarette burn on my wrist but I doubt if even the most loving attention would discover the scar without assistance!? In fine condition.

This is also very important in my lectures. Four edge tears where the letter was folded, otherwise in generally fine condition.

However, when you publish The Birds I will send him a copy. Du Maurier then turns her attention to a recent article in the T.L.S.: Very fair, if a bit superior. I long to know who did it.
