‎Autograph letter signed ("A. Peshkov"). Sorrento, 20. VIII. 1924.‎

‎4to. ¾ page. In Russian. To Solomon Gitmanovich Kaplun: "I am sending a letter to V. F. Khodasevich which was requested to be published in Beseda. I am asking you to advance me money against the fee for my 'Book about Blok' and all five children's books. M. I. [i.e. Moura Budberg] said that I received not a single letter from you over the entire summer. You replied that letters had been sent to me and that you had copies of them. Since I am still awaiting the reply to questions I asked you, perhaps you will send me the copies of your letters. I will not discuss how surprised I am at your attitude towards me". - S. G. Kaplun (1891-1940) was a journalist and publisher, the owner of the Berlin publishing house "Epoch" and from 1922 to 1925 the publisher of Gorky's literary and scientific journal "Beseda". - Left margin with punched holes (not touching text).

‎Autograph manuscript signed (in Cyrillic, "M. Gorky") Berlin, 9. XI. 1921.‎

‎4to. ¾ page. In German. Addressed to the editor of a newspaper, Gorky's statement repudiates remarks that have been attributed to him in various newspapers: "From Maxim Gorki, who is staying in Berlin at present for a short time, we have received the following note: / Allow me, dear editor, the polite communication that the interviews with me which have appeared in various journals are to be considered as apocryphal, and that I can in no way assume responsibility for their content. My current state of health does not allow me to undertake conversations with gentlemen of the press; I will however not fail to accede to your wishes as soon as I have the strength to do so" (transl.). - Disenchanted with Lenin's regime and suffering from tuberculosis, Gorky had left Russia in September 1921, initially staying in Berlin; ultimately he was to settle in Sorrento, with an extended household which now included Moura Budberg, his secretary and lover. - Provenance: Sotheby's, 25 May 1983; Heritage, 6 April 2016, lot 49152.‎

‎Ostrovsky, Alexander, Russian playwright (1823-1886).‎

‎Autograph letter signed ("A. Ostrovsky") Shchelykovo, 28. VII. 1885.‎

‎8vo (215 x 135 mm). 2 pp. on a bifolium with Ostrovsky's printed monogram. In Russian. To Ivan Maximovich Kondratiev on his struggles with ill health. Ostrovsky excuses himself for writing only a shorter letter, having "no stomach" for writing more. He had caught a bad cold on coming to his country estate at Shchelykovo, "and the consequences turned out to be just awful. I was overcome with a fierce malignant pyrexia [i.e. fever] and despite the tropical heat of this year's summer, it resumed up to seven times. The paroxysms lasted no more than one or two days but were absolutely awful [...] the tongue was bursting and the inside of the mouth was cracking. / Now I am recovering bit by bit; as soon as I have grown stronger I will write a longer letter; there are plenty of things to write about [...]". - A leading proponent of realism, Alexander Ostrovsky is considered the founder of the Russian national theatre repertoire, and was the author of 47 original plays, in spite of his lifelong struggles against official censorship. His last years were beset by struggles with money and, as here, health problems: he died almost exactly a year after the present letter. No records for autographs by Ostrovsky at international auction.‎

However, extracts of the work might have been published as early as 1875. - Traces of former mounting; somewhat fingerstained.‎

An Werner von Haxthausen in Bökendorf mit Dank für übersandte "Heiligthümer", zu der glücklichen Geburt seines Enkelsohns Johann von Stolberg-Wernigerode (1811-62) und zu Verspätungen bei Postzustellungen: "So wie ich auch gestern erst einen Brief vom 30ten Jänner der eilenden Post aus Wernigerode, u. zugl. [einen] vom 16ten Febr. aus Schlesien erhielt. Die Unordnung der Posten ist abgeschmackt u. ärgerlich. Meine Frau hat grosse Freude über das Kreu[z] und wird dir ihren Dank selbst sagen [...]". - Friedrich zu Stolberg hatte in jungen Jahren mit Goethe die Schweiz bereist, später jedoch eher Kontakt zu den religiösen Gruppierungen des Münsterschen Kreises (u. a. Herder), die ihn auch zu seinem großen Werk "Geschichte der Religion Jesu Christi" (15 Bde.) inspirierten. Werner von Haxthausen wurde durch Kontakte seiner Halbschwester Therese von Droste-Hülshoff um 1800 in der Familie Stolbergs in Münster erzogen.

An Werner von Haxthausen in Halle, zur Geburt seines Enkelsohns Richard zu Stolberg-Wernigerode (1810-27) und zu einem Kredit von 400 Reichsthalern, die ein Edelmann aus dem westfälischen Adelsgeschlecht Wintgen einem gewissen Bernhard geborgt und für den Stolberg gebürgt habe: "Zuvörderst, liebster Werner, melde ich Dir, daß meine Mariagnes am 31sten Jänner glückl. von einem Knaben entbunden worden. Er heißt Richard. Das ist nun schon ihr fünftes Kind. Da ihres Mannes Brief an mich an eben dem Tage geschrieben war, sehne ich mich sehr nach ferneren Nachrichten, doch mit guter Hofnung, da sie mir noch am 26sten schrieb, daß sie sich gesunder und stärker fühle als seit 5-6 Jahren [...]". - Friedrich zu Stolberg hatte in jungen Jahren mit Goethe die Schweiz bereist, später jedoch eher Kontakt zu den religiösen Gruppierungen des Münsterschen Kreises (u. a.

‎Taillandier, Saint-René, French writer and critic (1817-1879).‎

‎Autograph letter signed. Montpellier, 27. XII. 1856.‎

‎8vo. 4 pp. on bifolium. To the playwright and poet Salomon Hermann Mosenthal (1821-77) in Vienna about his mother's death and the limited number of subjects he is allowed to write about in the "Revue des deux mondes". Taillandier reassures Mosenthal of the independence of his criticism, pointing out that their friendship will not prevent him from seriously assessing his work, and hopes soon to discuss a new oeuvre of his in the Revue. He signs off with regards to the composer Josef Dessauer (1798-1876) and the writer Leopold Kompert (1822-86): "Je suis bien en retard avec vous, mais ce papier entouré d'un signe de deuil vous donne déja l'explication et l'excuse de mon silence. un coup terrible m'a frappé, j'ai eu le malheur de perdre ma mêre, jeune encore, et dans tout la face de l'age et de la santé [...] Par malheur je ne suis pas aussi libre que vous paraissez le croire. je suis obligé de me conformer aux exigences ou aux convenances de l'important recueil où j'écris. il y a des sujets qui, par leur nature même, attirent plus vivement l'attention de la France, ce sont ces sujets-là qu'on m'indique à la Revue des deux mondes et que je traite pour obéir aux voeux du directeur [...] je n'ai pas besoin, d'ailleurs, de vous dire que je réclame toute l'indépendance de ma critique. je vous jugerai en toute liberté, en toute franchise, comme si je ne vous connaissais pas, comme si je n'avais pas été reçu par vous avec une charmante et cordiale hospitalité [...] je désire surtout qu'un ouvrage nouveau, un ouvrage important, signé de votre nom, me fournisse une occasion naturelle de vous consacrer un article et de vous revenir en vos oeuvres passés [...] Veuillez aussi me rappeler au souvenir [...] de M. Dessauer, dont j'ai été si heureux de faire la connaissance [...] bien des amitiés à M. Léopold Kompert [...]". - On mourning paper. Small marginal flaws.‎

Kenneth Sherlock (1901-90), rector of St Bartholomew's Church, Orford, in Woodbridge, Suffolk, where all three "Parables for Church Performance" ("Curlew River", "The Burning Fiery Furnace", and "The Prodigal Son") were performed. Britten is very warm in tone to Sherlock and, in a number of letters, alludes to his declining health, which continued to deteriorate until his death in 1976. - 1) A somewhat philosophical letter about Russia, the Russian people and the human spirit generally and further mentioning a forthcoming tour of Germany and Austria. 2 pp. On headed paper ("The Red House, Aldeburgh, Suffolk"). - The remainder on personalised correspondence cards. - 2+3) About Curlew River: "It was wonderful being able to do Curlew River in your wonderful church […] I'm just off to Holland, after having whizzed up north with Rostropovich […]"; "It is lovely that Curlew River can be back where it belongs in 1965!". - 4) Mentioning "The Prodigal Son": "All goes well here now - only a lot of patience is needed! Don't worry - somehow there will be a Prodigal Son in Orford Church in time! [...]". - 5) Thanking Sherlock for his support: "It is always a real joy for us to come and work in Orford Church - not least because of your own unfailing kindness and deep understanding of what we are trying to do [...]". - 6) "Peter and I are just off to USSR via London for a month or so, so I am afraid a meeting about next year will have to wait till September. But Stephen R. can in the meantime give you all our proposals for next year's Festival at Orford [...]". - 7) "I am here for a week or so (before going off to Helsinki, + to USSR again) [...]". - 8) "What a wonderful lot of flowers - how cheering to be reminded that spring and health will not be far away! I was very touched by them [...]". - Letter 1 shows slight separation to the lower fold; 2 to 8 in excellent condition.

According to an early collector's note, the present letter was written to his friend Ernst Weyden, a scholar and member of the Faculty at the University of Cologne. Liszt discusses his planned marriage to Carolyne Sayn-Wittgenstein, Richard Wagner, and a planned collaboration with Weyden: "Je suis très sensible à vos bons souhaits pour mon quarantième anniversaire, lesquels se résument pour moi tous dans un seul : c'est que la femme qui s'est absolument dévouée à moi qu'elle est devenue à la fois et la racine et la fleur de ma vie, me soit conservé. Grâces au Ciel j'ai tout lieu d'espérer que ce voeu suprême de mon coeur sera exaucé, - et d'après les nouvelles que j'ai trouvé ici il est très probable que dans peu de mois mon mariage aura lieu [...]" ("I am very sensitive to your good wishes for my 40th birthday, which can be summarized for me in one thing: that the woman who has been absolutely devoted to me and who has become both the root and the flower of my life, be kept for me. Thanks be to Heaven that I have every reason to hope that this supreme wish of my heart will be granted - and from the news I have found here it is very likely that in a few months my marriage will take place [...]" (transl.). - Liszt is grateful to Weyden for having reported on his brochure on Lohengrin and Tannhäuser in the Kölnische Zeitung. "It is to be presumed that my brochure will contribute to spreading the understanding of Wagner's works, which, in order to be greatly admired, only need to be understood from a higher point of view than one is accustomed to judge ordinary operas. You have thus done art a service, as well as me, by contributing your share to the propagation of these two eminent works of which Germany will be able one day to be proud [...]". Liszt treasures his memories of their architectural trip and hopes that they will one day resume their peregrinations: "In the meantime, please do not forget our collaboration project in honour of the Duomo; I hope that you will be able to send me the stanzas I have requested before the end of the year [...]. - On blue paper. Slightly wrinkled, otherwise in good condition.‎

‎Strauss, Richard, composer (1864-1949).‎

‎2 autograph letters signed an one autogr. musical quotation signed. Garmisch, May 1945.‎

‎4to. (½+1 =) 1½ pages on 2 ff. With two autogr. envelopes. The musical quotation on 4 pages in-8 mimeographed concert programme. Several addenda. Interesting set addressed to the American commander of Garmisch, after the defeat of Germany. Major Herbert L. Snapp (1901-91) was the officer of the American occupation troops, appointed "Stadtcommandant" of Garmisch, where Strauss resided. - 1) Garmisch, 8 May 1945. On the very day of the armistice and the end of the war, Strauss greets Commander Snapp as the representative of the great American people ("als hiesiger Repräsentantendes grossen amerikanischen Volkes") on this day of peace ("zu dem heutigen Friedenstage") and warmly expresses the wish that America, friend to the arts, as it has delivered Germany from an undignified slavery, will in a beautiful future extend its protection to the descendants of Goethe and Wagner for the reconstruction of the country and its culture. - 2) Garmisch, 12 May 1945. Strauss asks for driving licenses and, for his son, daughter-in-law and grandson Richard, hunting licenses, so that his family can feed itself. - On a mimeographed concert programme, given by the students of the Music Department of St. Mary of the Springs on 12 April 1945, Richard Strauss inscribed a 3-bar quote from the beginning of the Rosenkavalier, with the inscription and signature. - Attached is an autograph letter from "Daddy" (i. e. Snapp) to his daughter Nancy, sending her, with comments, these documents, and a letter draft to Strauss in which the American military government makes three reassurances, "all of which will be in direct contrast to the period 1933-45" (written on the reverse of a stationery with printed letterhead of the Reichsministerium des Innern).‎

‎Strauss, Richard, composer (1864-1949).‎

‎Autograph letter signed. Apparently Bad Wiessee (Tegernsee), 19 Sept. 1933.‎

‎4to. 2 pages. Curious letter about Strauss's attitude under Nazism. The letter shows Strauss's activity to create the STAGMA (Staatlich genehmigte Gesellschaft zur Verwertung musikalischer Aufführungsrechte) to replace the GEMA (Genossenschaft zur Verwertung musikalischer Aufführungsrechte), a governmental institution for the management of musicians' copyrights, and his attempt to compose the board of directors of the new society in such a way as to satisfy the Nazi leaders, who should not be part of it, while he himself wanted to be its president. Dr. Schmidt-Leonhardt must prepare the minister for Strauss's position. The early foundation is a chance for them, and if Dr. Goebbels confirms to give Strauss full powers according to the "Führer principle", Strauss will immediately determine autocratically (after liquidation of the last GEMA General Assembly) the board and the statutes of the Stagma: "Inhalt beiliegenden nicht abgesandten Briefes können Sie vielleicht vertraulich für Herrn Dr. Schmidt[-]Leonhar[d]t benützen, damit er in meinem Sinne den Herrn Minister schon präparieren kann. Wenn ich recht überlege, ist die voreilige Gründung für uns ein Glück u. wenn Dr. Goebbels Stand hält u. mir alle Vollmachten 'laut Führerprinzip' bestätigt, bestimme ich (nachdem die letzte Gemageneralversammlung liquidiert hat) nun Vorstand u. Statuten der Stagma selbstherrlich. Ich habe Kopsch telegrafisch nach Berlin beordert u. mir seine neuen fertigen Statuten nach hieher erbeten, damit ich Samstag ganz im Bilde bin. Bitte versichern Sie sich noch des Herrn Havemann, damit uns nicht von der Partei (etwa Herr Hinkel oder sonst wer) in den Rücken fällt u. dann will ich versuchen, Herrn Keudell ganz auszuschalten, den Vorstand u. die Geschäftsführung der Stagma neu zu ernennen. Vorher waren es doch drei bei der Gema: Ritter, Schmeling, Lehar? Kann man in die Stagma nicht 2 coordinierte Geschäftsführer: Kopsch - Stagma / Ritter - Gema [...] hineinnehmen? u. den ganz unnötigen Präsidenten Gräner mit dem hohen Gehalt einfach ausschiffen? [...]". - On headed paper ("Kurheim Rex"); left margin with punched holes (not touching text).‎

Je l'en décharge et me permets de vous offrir les deux miennes [...] Demain vers midi si vous passez par chez moi, vous m'y trouverez [...]". - Tear in upper margin repaired with adhesive tape.‎

‎Dall'Argine, Giuseppe, Italian librettist and draughtsman (fl. 1821-1825).‎

‎"Amelia e Leandro, ossia, Il trionfo della rassegnazione: melodramma". Manuscript signed. Parma, 1821.‎

‎Folio. Italian manuscript in brown and pink ink on paper. (50) pp. on 30 ff. With calligraphed title and 7 hand-drawn illustrations, comprising a dedication portrait of Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma, her coat of arms on the title-page, 4 scenic designs for the play, and a final vignette with motto. Contemporary giltstamped full calf with pink endpapers. All edges gilt. Beautiful dedication manuscript of Giuseppe dall'Argine's romantic drama that was set to music by count Germano Liberati Tagliaferri (1795-1870) and premiered in 1821 at the Teatro Sanvitale in Parma. Dall'Argine dedicated his play to the ruling Duchess of Parma and second wife of Napoleon, archduchess Marie Louise (1791-1847), who is represented in a fine pen drawing that serves as frontispiece. All illustrations are signed by the author. - This manuscript is probably the only surviving copy of dall'Argine's play. Himself largely forgotten, Giuseppe dall'Argine stems from a leading family of musicians and librettists in Parma, the most prominent members of which were the tenor Luigi dall'Argine (1808-69) and his son Costantino (1842-77), a highly successful composer in his time. Giuseppe dall'Argine is known as the author of another libretto, the comedy "Castello di Valbruno" that was published in Parma in 1825 and again set to music by Germano Liberati Tagliaferri. - Well preserved.‎

He also carried out studies relating to dust explosions in coal mines and in the process developed a device for testing the flashpoint of petroleum.

‎Autograph inscription on a booklet for a Magritte exhibition by Paul Colinet with the signatures of René Magritte, Paul Colinet, Irène Hamoir, and Jean Émile Louis Scutenaire. The Hague, 14. XI. 1936.‎

‎Large 8vo. (4) pp. 5 handwritten lines. Original cardboard wrappers. Interesting inscription to the painter James William Frater (1887-1969), who is addressed as the "corrector of Heraclitus' Bridge", one of Magritte’s paintings on view at the exhibition: "A James Frater (ou, plutôt à Jim) le correcteur du Pont d'Heréclite, l’allègre chiffoneur des papiers bruns, le nouveau Jéovah qui fait un homme rapide du carton immobile". The booklet entitled "Bulletin Internationale Kunst", no. 9, of the Esher Surrey Art Galleries, had been printed for a Magritte exhibition in The Hague (14 November to 5 December 1936). Frater was a student of Jan Toorop and collaborated with Mondrian and Escher. Apparently he had contributed in some form to the painting mentioned in the inscription. The assembled signatures of the writers Paul Colinet (1898-1957), Jean Émile Louis Scutenaire (1905-87), his wife Irène Hamoir (1906-94), and the painter Magritte (1898-1967) bear beautiful testimony to the early years of the Belgian Surrealist movement. - The four-page booklet contains a portrait of Magritte, a short text on the artist, a list of 26 works on display, and two reproductions of paintings on display. Several addenda, including a page of the "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant", 25 November 1936, with a review of the exhibition entitled "Plastische Kunsten, Rene Magritte, Kunstzaal Esher Surrey". - Booklet shows some browning to the upper margins and a rust stain from the staple.‎

‎Typed letter signed. Rueil-la-Gadelière, 1. I. 1935.‎

‎8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. To an art dealer, probably Georges Wildenstein, accepting a proposal to participate in an exhibition in London and inviting the recipient to his house in Rueil-la-Gadelière: "Je vous remercie de votre lettre et suis très heureux de participer à la manifestation artistique que vous organisez dans votre Galerie de Londres pour Janvier prochain. Dès aujourd'hui, je donne à Monsieur Metthey tous les renseignements utiles pour cette manifestation. J'aurai grand plaisir à vous recevoir à La Tourillière, s'il vous est possible de venir jusqu'ici [...]". - No 1936 exhibition of Maurice de Vlaminck's works in London is known, but Wildenstein's gallery exhibited de Vlaminck in 1937. It is thus most likely that the preparations for the exhibition announced in the letter took longer. A less likely scenario is that letter was written to confirm participation in a modern art exhibition at the Leger Gallery in London, also held in 1937. The business partner mentioned in the letter as "Metthey" cannot be identified with certainty: de Vlaminck might be referring to the art historian and critic Jacques Mathey. - Traces of folds.

‎Barras, Paul, French politician (1755-1829).‎

‎Autograph letter signed twice "P. Barras". Château aux Aygalades [Marseille], 28. III. 1813.‎

‎Folio. 3½ pp. on bifolium. Historically significant letter written to defend himself against charges of espionage for the exiled Bourbons and their British allies. The letter was probably addressed to the military commission that had been installed in 1813 to try lieutenant Joseph Charabot, a central figure of the plot. Barras complains of having to defend himself against "allegations as disgusting as calumnious" made by a man who tries "disgracefully to ransom his life" by "spilling his own crimes" onto other people: "il m'est bien pénible Messieurs d'être obligé de me justifier d'imputations aussi degoûtantes que calumnieuses, d'un homme qui pour racheter honteusement sa vie, cherche à déverser ses propres délits sur des personnes qui comme moi ne l'ont jamais connu : je veux parle de Mr. Charabot fils". Barras admits that Charabot had visited him once or twice several years ago, but he underlines that there was no private contact and no exchange of money between them. The letter continues with short descriptions of Barras's relations to several of the accused. General Maximin-Joseph Emmanuel Guidal (1764-1812), who had been arrested on 22 January 1812, was the most important conspirator. During Malet's coup, Guidal was briefly released from prison on 23 October 1812. After the coup was quashed, Guidal was executed along 23 co-conspirators. - The affair of Marseille is little researched, and it is not known whether Paul Barras was an active participant in the conspiracy or not. The arrogant tone of this letter certainly would have done little to help his case, and it might have been merely his role in the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte that saved his life, apart from an apparent lack of evidence. While Joseph Charabot was executed, Napoleon exiled Barras to Rome, from where he returned in the wake of the Bourbon Restoration. - Some browning and very slight foxing.‎
