Beschreibung

8vo. 2½ pp. on 2 ff. To the music publisher Henri Heugel, requesting works of Jules Massenet: "Voila qu'en cherchant cette après-midi après une partition de Massenet, je m'apercois que je n'en ai qu'une [.]". - The second letter probably also to Heugel, announcing a report about Huret's stay in Dresden and a conversation with Joseph Rubinstein, asking for Rubinstein's book on Wagner and a catalogue of Rubinstein's works: "Je reviens de Dresde où j'ai vu Rubinstein. Je vais faire un compte-rendu de notre conversation, au cours de laquelle il m'a renvoyé, pour des notes, à son livre sur Wagner [.]". - Huret regularly published interviews with writers and artists in "L'Écho de Paris" and in "Le Figaro". Joseph Rubinstein, a young pianist of Jewish-Russian origin, admired Richard Wagner and cooperated with the German composer, who had an ambivalent attitude towards his disciple. Rubinstein donated his concert earnings to the Bayreuth Festival; deeply depressed by Wagner's death, he took his own life in 1884, at the age of only thirty-six. - Both letters with printed letterhead, monogram "Le Figaro", and collection stamp of the "Archives Ménestrel", one with slight duststaining to one margin. Both letters with recipient's note. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 61064
