^#718 ^Lot 750 Manuel de Falla

Important Spanish composer (1876–1946) who takes a place among the most distinguished figures in twentieth-century music. His ballets The Three-Cornered Hat (1917) and El Amor Brujo (1915) remain staples of the repertory, as do a number of his colorful orchestral and keyboard works. AMQS on the reverse of one of de Falla’s calling cards, 3.25 x 2.25. De Falla pens two bars from his ‘Concerto’ (for Harpsicord), inscribed in Spanish to Donald Sutphin, and signed “M. de Falla 1942.” de Falla also writes a brief Spanish sentiment on the front of the card, which translates to “With my best greetings.” In fine condition, with a couple trivial brushes, some ink flecks to center, and a light crease to top right corner.
