8vo. 3½ pp. In French. Charming letter to a piano student, apologizing for not having responded earlier and giving a detailed account of current events. Massart admits that she has "neither melted away, alas, nor submerged", although it would have have been "an excellent excuse for my negligence". In fact, she "suffered from neuralgia", was "highly occupied with persistent students", and helped her husband, the violinist Lambert Joseph Massart, with the organization of a competition at the conservatory, which had been "a complete success" at "the price of our sweat". Massart continues to announce a trip to neighbouring Trouville-sur-Mer to meet President Adolphe Thiers: "I am exhilarated to be seeing the President of the Republic in a swimsuit and to float next to him". In closing, she complains of her students' laziness and apologizes for being unable to send a portrait photograph which the recipient had requested: "You will have to content yourself with a profile. It is a shame because I look friendly and I would have wanted to send you a serious and severe attitude". - Whether Massart's announcement of a meeting with Adolphe Thiers was a joke cannot be determined. Nevertheless, the remark dates the letter to 1872, when Thiers spent his summer holiday in Trouville at the Chalet Cordier during his presidency (1871-73). - Louise Aglaé Massart studied at the Paris conservatory from 1838 and won a prize in 1840. Following her first public appearances, she was named court pianist to Helene of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Duchess of Orléans. In 1849 Massart married Joseph Lambert Massart, a renowned violinist and professor at the conservatory. Both Louise and her husband, co-founders of the Société Philharmonique, were close friends with Hector Berlioz. As a pianist, Louise Aglaé Massart was an active interpreter of chamber music. From 1856 to 1867 she played in the "Société Armingaud et Jacquard", concentrating on the chamber music of Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. In 1874 Massart took over the piano class of Louis Farrenc at the Paris conservatory. Clotilde Kleeberg was her most important student. - On stationery with embossed monogram. Traces of former mounting and minor browning to the upper border. …

8vo and oblong 12mo. Together (1+4+4 =) 9 pp. on 2 bifolia and 2 single sheets. With 2 autograph envelopes. About his forthcoming concert in the Netherlands, brought about by E. Zilcken, who had supported the establishment of a concert hall in The Hague since 1851, to which he greatly looks forward, as he has long desired to visit the country: "C'est donc le 2 Février et quatre du même mois que j'aurai l'honneur de me présenter devant le public Hollandais, désir que j'ai depuis long temps et que bien des obstacles ont semblé rendre d'une réalisation difficile. Monsieur Zilcken voudra bien me rendre cette justice qu'à son premier appel et sans conditions pour ainsi dire [.] J'ai dit un oui très empressé voulant témoigner toute ma bonne volonté à répondre à l'appel de Monsieur Zilcken [.]" (Mont de Marson, 26 Jan. 1881). On mourning paper. With a few pencil annotations. Corresponding envelope adressed to E. Zilcken in The Hague, who was probably expected to forward the letter to a newspaper. - To a friend about his visit to Madame Hollander, the delivery of a piano by the instrument maker Pierre Erard (1794-1855), the work number of a Beethoven piece, and in anticipation of a meeting on Tuesday: "Je m'empresse de vous dire que je serai chez Mme Hollander Mardi 14 Avril avant dix heures. En enverra de chez Erard un piano demi queue. Le trio de Beethoven porte le numéro d'oeuvre 38. Ce mardi donc, en attendant le plaisir de vous voir, je vous prie d'agréer Monsieur tous mes sentiments très distingués [.]" (no place, "Jeudi"). - About his experience performing at the Trocadéro in Paris, which strikes him as a little intimidating, a fact he dreads to admit to the concert organiser Philbert Bréban: "Je n'ai pas non plus oublié que j'ai eu le plaisir de connaître Monsieur Breban au Trocadéro et mon souvenir m'est resté très sympathique [.] Je crains de lui paraître bien ingras envers cette belle salle du Trocadéro où on fait de si belle musique, et où j'ai eu moi même le bonheur [.] d'obtenir les plus précieux succès qu'un artiste puisse ambitionner! Mais il faut bien que je lui avoue qu'au point de vue spécial de mon instrument [.] cette admirable salle m'inspire malgré tout, une certaine terreur! [.]" (Mont de Marson, 11 April 1887). On stationery with embossed address. - The second envelope, addressed to E. Zilcken in The Hague, does not apparently correspond to any letter at hand. Some small rust stains; the correspondence card somewhat waterstained as well. With remnants of old labels torn off. …

Oblong 12mo. Together (2+2+2+2 =) 8 pp. To a singer with congratulations on her performance of a Duo by Gioachino Rossini with Gabrielle Krauss (1842-1906), sending flowers in admiration: "Vous avez été comme toujours la meilleure des amies et la plus grande artiste en nous donnant cette grande joie artistique de vous entendre chanter le Duo de la Messe, de notre cher maitre Rossini, avec Mme Krauss [.] Vous avez été admirable. Comment vous remercier et vous dire toute notre reconnaissance, c'est impossible, permettez-nous seulement de vous envoyer ces quelques fleurs [.]" (24 April 1890). - To a colleague with the date and time of their rehearsal of an impromptu: "Entendu pour l'Impromptu sur un Thême de Manfred, pour notre répétition je choisis Lundi à 5 h. précises chez Erard [.]" ([Paris], 2 Jan. 1899). - To "mon cher Joly", likely the music critic of "Le Figaro", Charles Joly, about a festival of his works held at Dieppe, the great success of which prompted him to prepare a second concert, preventing him from writing during his ten days in Dieppe: "Je suis horriblement confus d'être si en retard avec vous, je suis allé à Dieppe pendant une dizaine de jours pour un Festival de mes oeuvres qui avait lieu le 1ere Septembre au Casino et qui a eu un tel succès que j'ai dû un 2de Concert. La préparation de ces 2 Concerts et la vie agitée que j'ai menée à Dieppe pendant ces dix jours, m'ont mis dans l'impossibilité de m'occuper de pouvoir écrire [.]" (Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, 15 Sept. 1902). - To a singer asking for a suitable date for a rehearsal of "Esmeralda", which she will perform at a soirée to which he greatly looks forward: "Quel jour puis-je venir répéter un peu la Esmeralda vers 1h ½ cette semaine, ou Lundi ou Mardi (excepte Samedi) de la semaine prochaine pour ma soirée de Mercredi 12 mars à laquelle nous comptons avoir le très grand plaisir de vous entendre et de vous applaudir. Un mot de réponse bientôt, n'est-ce pas? [.]" (3 March, no year). - All cards with embossed monograms, 2 with embossed addresses. With remnants of old labels torn off.…

8vo. 3 pp. on bifolium. To the journalist, music critic and music publisher Léon Escudier (1821-81) about his completed manuscript of a Verdi requiem, which had previously either been too long or too challenging to sing, as well as another work with which he had great success before an audience, asking for Escudier's opinion on the title, suggesting "Fantaisie" or "Illustration": "Le manuscrit sur la Messe de Requiem d. Verdi est enfin terminé. C'est inoui, tout ce que j'ai écrit pour ce morceau, tantôt il était trop long, tantôt trop difficile et pas bien chantant. Certainement tout l'ouvrage de Verdi est admirablement beau [.] D'un autre côté j'ai voulu aussi vous faire un ouvrage [.] qui fait de l'effet [.] je l'ai fait entendre à quelques personnes qui en ont été satisfaites. Faut-il appeler ce travail Faintaisie, ou Illustration, d'un côté le premier titre me parait vulgaire et le second un peu pritentieux, voyez et décidez [.]". - The postscript mentions a letter by Monsieur Wolf from the Schott publishing house in London, who is still awaiting Escudier's answer regarding the acquisition of Leybach's latest work: "M. Wolf de la maison Schott à Londres m'a écrit il y a quelque jours, qu'il attendait toujours votre reponse quant à l'achat de mon dernier morceau". - On stationery with embossed initials. …
