DEBUSSY Claude 1862 1918
Autograph letter signed to an unidentified male correspondent
1 page. Octavo ca. 168 x 122 mm. Dated Thursday evening. On mourning stationery. In French with translation. <br/><br/>"I have to attend Louis Laloy's premiere; naturally that is tomorrow on Friday. Would you change the enclosed tickets for Saturday Thanks again."<br/><br/>Slightly worn and browned; creased at folds and upper outer corner of final blank folio; small rust stain from paper clip to inner margin of final folio not affecting text. "One of the most important musicians of his time Debussy's harmonic innovations had a profound influence on generations of composers. He made a decisive move away from Wagnerism in his only complete opera Pelléas et Mélisande and in his works for piano and for orchestra he created new genres and revealed a range of timbre and colour which indicated a highly original musical aesthetic." François Lesure and Roy Howat in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>"Laloy 1874-1944 was a noted defender of contemporary French music and was a close friend of and mediator between Ravel and Debussy with whom he collaborated on some unrealized stage works; he was also the author of the first major work and the first in the French language on Debussy."

Lesure 100.<br/><br/>Estampes premiered in Paris with Ricardo Viñes at the piano at a concert of the Société nationale in the Salle Erard on 9 January 1904<br/><br/>Debussy's creative connection to the visual arts was significant and many times throughout his career he attributed the inspiration for many of his compositions to specific artists or works of art. "Louis Laloy his first French biographer revealed in 1909 that 'He received his most profitable lessons from poets and painters not from musicians' while he himself told Varèse in 1911 'I love pictures almost as much as music'. .One of his rare piano pupils Mademoiselle Worms de Romilly went so far as to write that he 'always regretted not having worked at painting instead of music'. Ever since his years at the Conservatoire Debussy had felt that he had more to learn from artists than from career-obsessed musicians: 'You are getting nowhere M. Croche will tell them because you know nothing but music and obey barbaric laws'. Three of his works were dedicated to artists: one of the Images for piano to Alexandre Charpentier one of the Proses lyriques to Henri Lerolle and Estampes to Jacques-Emile Blanche."

First edition. Lesure 125.<br/><br/>Premiered in Paris on 22 May 1911 at the Théâtre du Châtelet.<br/><br/>"Debussy was rather reserved in his attitude to the aesthetic of the Ballets Russes and seems to have preferred the idea of rejuvenating the old form of opera-ballet Fêtes galantes after Verlaine renamed Crimen amoris. He wrote the scenario - but not the music - of Masques et bergamasques but he detested the choreography which Diaghilev commissioned from Nijinsky for Jeux a work which finally found a new life for itself in the concert hall. He fell out with Maud Allan who commissioned the ballet Khamma; the score which has its Stravinskian moments was not played in his lifetime." François Lesure and Roy Howat in Grove Music Online. A.
