192686618Montfort l'Amaury 1926. Fine. ""Pas le temps de bien entendre les mélodies grecques qu'il interprétera aussi bien sans mes indications d'ailleurs"" ""No time to properly hear the Greek melodies which he will interpret just as well without my indications anyway"" Montfort l'Amaury 9 novembre 1926 13.50 x 10.40 cm une page Autograph letter dated and signed by Maurice Ravel 2 pages on a cardboard note with letterhead bearing his monogram and his address ""Le Belvédère Montfort l'Amaury S.& O."" The composer preparing to leave for Switzerland puts his affairs in order and addresses various directives to his correspondent. The year 1926 had seen the birth in Paris of l'Enfant et les Sortilèges his celebrated lyrical fantasy on a text by Colette. Ravel receives ""une lettre de Bochie"" ""a letter from Bochie"" - patriotism never being far away! - and recommends one of the airs from his work: ""Je sais qu'on m'y demande des mélodies pour une Koloratur soprano l'air du Feu s'impose"" ""I know that they are asking me for melodies for a Koloratur soprano the Fire's aria is essential"" . ""S'il y faut de la dédicace on la remettra à mon retour"" ""If a dedication is needed it will be done upon my return"". He peppers his note with some humorous touches: ""2 reçus que j'ai oublié de laisser hier au bureau car je n'y étais pas passé uniquement pour l'apéro"" ""2 receipts that I forgot to leave yesterday at the office since I hadn't gone there solely for the aperitif""; ""une lettre du Courrier Musical : s'il n'y avaient pas ajouté un timbre je ne vous aurais même pas prié de leur répondre"" ""a letter from Courrier Musical: if they hadn't added a stamp I wouldn't even have asked you to reply to them"". His final lines are about the tenor Warnery who performed the Clock and the Cat at the creation of l'Enfant et les Sortilèges in Monte-Carlo a year earlier: ""Je crois que Warnery vient en novembre au bureau et vous prierai de lui demander à lui aussi s'il est utile que j'envoie les directeurs de Genève. Priez-le de m'excuser c'est effrayant ce que j'ai à faire avant mon départ. Pas le temps de bien entendre les mélodies grecques qu'il interprétera aussi bien sans mes indications d'ailleurs"" ""I believe that Warnery is coming to the office in November and I will ask you to ask him too whether it is useful for me to send to the directors in Geneva. Please ask him to excuse me it's frightening what I have to do before my departure. No time to properly hear the Greek melodies which he will interpret just as well without my indications anyway"". Charming and aesthetic letter from the composer featuring important compositions for voice and orchestra. unknown

1958blb01685<p>Paris: Durand & Cie 1958. 1st. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Beautiful book - the 1958 printing of the 1925 first edition. Half red cloth spine over gray & red marbled paper on boards. Book is tight square and totally free of all markings and flaws other than a faint gift inscription on the FFEP. Endpapers are gray. ""Nowhere is Maurice Ravel s ability to conjure up the world of a child more vividly revealed than in the web of fairytale and reality imagination and intense sensation that is woven through his opera L Enfant et les sortil�ges The Child and the Enchantments. The opera s libretto by the French novelist Colette was drafted following a commission from Jacques Rouch� the visionary director of the Op�ra de Paris. In mid-March 1916 Colette sent her sketch to Rouch� who offered it first to Paul Dukas and then to Stravinsky; barely a fortnight earlier Ravel had left for the Western Front as an army driver. That September Ravel serving somewhere near Verdun was offered the third refusal but although a copy of Colette s text was mailed it never reached him. Ravel finally received and accepted the commission only in the spring of 1917 and it was not until well after the end of World War One that he began work. Oh! Cher ami when oh when the Divertissement pour ma.petite-fille wrote Colette to Ravel in the summer of 1923. If he didn t get a move on this work that she had first conceived as a Divertissement for my daughter was going to turn into one for her granddaughter petite-fille instead. In the spring of 1924 with a premi�re for the new opera confirmed at the Th��tre de Monte Carlo rather than in Paris as originally foreseen Ravel seriously set to work on completing L Enfant.</p> Durand & Cie hardcover
