Lot description

± 1 to 3 pp., 12mo, in French, 1 doc. with monogram letterhead.

Fine condition.

Very interesting correspondence, with many comments, on the performance by G. Huberti of his works "La Croisade des enfants" (1902) and "Les enfants à Bethléem" (1907): "[...] je sais quelles sont les difficultés que vous avez eu à vaincre [...]", "Je suis richement [sic] très déçu de ne pouvoir assister à la belle exécution que vous me promettez de la 2e partie de la Croisade", "il est indispensable de joindre 80 garçons au moins dans les 200 voix ! Et maintenant souhaitons que cela réussisse... ça serait drôle... et nouveau ! [...]", etc. The French organist and composer G. Pierné (1863-1937) became in 1903 deputy conductor of the Concerts Colonne and principal conductor after Colonne's death in 1910. G. Huberti (1843-1910), Belgian conductor and composer, was i.a. director of the music school at Saint-Josse-ten-Noode (Brussels).
