TWO TYPED LETTERS SIGNED from Ernst Levy to a Fan of His Music May 22 1963 & November 23 1964

1964512131964. 8.5" x 11" folded sheets. Very good both folded with minor signs of handling. 8.5" x 11" folded sheets. Two engaging and characteristically forthright letters from the distinguished pianist composer and musicologist Ernst Levy 1895-1981 written to an admirer of his work. In the first letter May 22 1963 Levy responds with humor and candor to an inquiry about locating certain of his recordings echoing the fan's willingness â€œto pay any priceâ€ for the unspecified records. He notes that he does not possess â€œthe Liszt nor the Haydn records and only some of the Beethovenâ€ and advises writing directly to Kapp Records and Unicorn for assistance. Levy adds pointedly that he desires â€œno contact with those peopleâ€ referring to Kapp and goes on to condemn the labelâ€™s decision to withdraw his recordings from circulation: â€œI consider it an act of deep dishonesty to prevent availability of those records. By pulling the record out of the market they have deprived me of a legitimate hope and simply havenâ€™t fulfilled their part of the contract.â€ Levy had recorded a number of performances for Kapp in the late 1950s including highly regarded interpretations of Beethoven and Liszt which were later deleted from the catalog and became highly desirable among collectors because of their rarity. Levy closes by recommending that the correspondent contact his friend Mr. Stephen Fassett who might offer advice and possibly access to other recordings. In the second letter November 23 1964 Levy expresses pleasure that the recipient has reached Fassett mentions his Bruckner article in Chord and Discord Bruckner Society of America 1963 and offers warm encouragement that his correspondent not remain merely a â€œplatonic loverâ€ of music urging him instead to learn an instrument or join a choir: â€œMusic is above all a human activity and nothing can replace â€˜makingâ€™ music!â€ Two thoughtful and personal letters from Levy offering insight into both his frustrations with the music industry and his deeply humanistic view of art.
