^Lot 771 Vincent D’Indy

French composer and teacher (1851–1931) best known for his ‘Symphony on a French Mountain Air.’ ALS in French, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 3.5 x 4.5, no date. Letter to Emile, in part (translated): “I produced an overture this summer and I am most anxious to have my quartets printed as soon as possible for many reasons…I count on our ‘lost moments’ between a mature study in oil and a ‘chemical’ experience on an imprisoned whore, (shame on him who evil thinks!) in order to deliver my poor violins.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning.
