SAINT-SAËNS (Camille). Autograph letter to Madame Henriette - Lot 405
SAINT-SAËNS (Camille). Autograph letter to Madame Henriette Fuchs, undated. 1 folio in-12, 4 pages "Dear Madame, I have written, for the church and the Concert, special works, Oratorio de Noël - Psaume XIX - Requiem - le Déluge - la Lyre et la Harpe. When the Concordia deems it appropriate to perform them, I shall be grateful, and will make myself entirely available for performance studies. As for Dalila, it is both contrary to my feelings and to my interests for it to be performed in concert; this (...) was done at a time when I had no hope of having it heard in the theater; but times have changed, and if I cannot prevent fragments of Dalila (...) in concerts, at least I wish it to be limited to the shortest possible fragments, (...) to be performed outside of me. Do as you wish, but I will not interfere in any way. Yours faithfully. Camille Saint-Saëns". The tone here is quite different from that in the other missive addressed to Madame Fuchs (lot 404).
