Oblong 4to (287 x 228 mm). 1 page, meticulously notated in 38 bars on five systems of two staves. Annotated in a 19th-century hand "copié par Chopin", loosely matted. Stored in a custom-made red morocco portfolio with cut signatures of Arthur Rubinstein (1931) and Vladimir Horowitz (1978), famed as interpreters of Chopin's music. Two short piano works inspired by Polish folk music. Kobylanska considers that whilst both works are signed by Chopin, they are too unsophisticated to be his own compositions, and are perhaps transcriptions of Polish folk tunes: "Beide Stücke sind zwar mit Ch signiert, in ihrer ganzen Art jedoch zu primitiv, als daß man sie für eigene Kompositionen Chopins halten könnte. Wir ordnen sie in dieses Kapitel ein, da es sich vielleicht um Übertragungen von polnischen Volksweisen handeln mag." If so, it is fascinating not only to see Chopin in the posture of an ethnomusicologist some sixty or more years before the pioneering research of Bartók and Kodály, but also that the resulting works, notated with his characteristic exquisite neatness, should be granted the imprimatur of his discreet, repeated signature. - Provenance: 1) collection of the actor, director and playwright Sacha Guitry (1885-1957); his sale, Drouot, Paris, 21 November 1974 (lot 15); 2) collection of the Canadian chemist and physician Frederick Lewis Maitland Pattison (1923-2010), with his bookplate on the portfolio's inside front cover. - Krystyna Kobylanska, Frédéric Chopin: Thematisch-bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis (1979), VII b (Transkriptionen von Volksweisen), nos. 7 and 8.

4to. 2 pp. Highly interesting letter to his friend, the critic René Dumesnil, concerning the wedding of Tansman's daughter Marianne to a Sienese nobleman and a campaign for the preservation of the Théâtre Royale de La Monnaie in Brussels as an independent institution. Tansman informs Dumesnil that he has received an appeal from the directorate and the personnel together with news clippings concerning government plans for La Monnaie. According to this plan, La Monnaie would cease to exist as an autonomous opera house and serve only as a venue for productions of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liège and the Vlaamse Opera in Antwerp. He therefore asks Dumesnil to join a campaign and write an article for Le Monde, citing the ancient tradition of La Monnaie and its importance for French music: "Presque tout le répertoire de ce théâtre est consacré à la musique française; ces créations passées sont innombrables, et quant aux créations de ces dernières années, la plupart ont été faites avant Paris, et certaines attendent encore la création en France. Je vous cite, en hâte : Rake's Progress de Stravinsky, Oedipe (reprise) d'Enesco, David de Milhaud, mon 'Serment', Atlantide et Don Juan de Mañara de Tomasi; reprises de Pellias, Ravel, Fauré et tout le répertoire français. Pour les créations, La Monnaie depuis plusieurs années représente le 1er théâtre lyrique de langue française". Dumesnil did indeed write an article that ran on 10 October 1958, mostly following Tansman's argument and some of his examples, including Tansman's own opera "Le Serment" that had premiered on 11 March 1955. The campaign for La Monnaie was ultimately successful. - Well preserved.

8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. With autograph address. To a Madame de Lira, explaining why he did not come to her house and advising her that she must ask him to come a few days in advance, as he is very busy teaching and playing in salons: "Je viens d'apprendre que Vous êtes venus aujourd'hui chez nous pour savoir la cause de ma non-apparition chez Vous. La chose est positive. Comme la lettre de Mademoiselle ne motivait pas de réponse, je n'ai pas répondu, car elle m'annonçait seulement que Vous restez chez Vous - mais aussi la dernière fois que je suis allé Vous voir je Vous ai pré, Madame, de vouloir bien m'écrire quelques jours d'avance et je viendrai [.]". - With collector's note in pencil. Somewhat creased.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. To the composer Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmerman (1785-1853), presenting him with a work for piano students of which he hopes Zimmerman will approve: "Je viens soumettre à votre autorité, un ouvrage destiné aux Pianiste étudiantes. Un mot de Votre approbation sera pour moi un vrai succès. Je l'attends de cette amitité que Vous m'avez toujours temoigné et que j'apprecierai toute ma vie avec un attachement amical [.]". - A note regarding the former collector and donor on the reverse: "donné par M. Zimmermann". - With a later collector's number "64" in pencil. Traces of former mounting on reverse. A few small marginal flaws.

8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. With autogr. address. To Charles de Beauregard, editor of "La Gazette de France", apologizing for a misunderstanding which occurred due to his father's poor command of French. Beauregard's niece, Madame Jourdan, thought that de Kontski would like to play a concert with her, but he is too busy this year: "[.] Mme Jourdan m'a écrit comme si je lui ferait la proposition de donner le concerte avec elle, mais cette année étant tellement occupé des leçons et des soirées [.]". - The Polish-born pianist and composer lived in Paris from 1835 to 1851, and from 1851 to 1853 served as Prussian court pianist in Berlin. After stages in St. Petersburg (1854-67) and London (1867-83) he settled in the United States, teaching in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He died during a concert tour of the world at the age of 82, on the Polish border. - Some stains.

Zustand: Fine. The gelatin silver photograph (258 × 202 mm, captioned in print in the bottom margin 'Witold Lutoslawski | Composer/Condutor [sic] 1987', with the ABC logo) is signed using a silver felt-tipped pen; in fine condition. The photograph is accompanied by a typed letter signed by Peter Dennison, Professor of Music at the University of Melbourne, to the Hon. Barry Jones, Parliament House, Canberra (at that time the Minister for Science). The letter, dated 24 August 1987, goes into some detail about the circumstances surrounding the signing. 'I asked him about a recording of "Chain 3" and he said that it wasn't recorded, and he knew of no plans to record it. It was however composed only last December and it will probably take some time before the record companies realise what a stunning piece it is'. Two related ephemeral items are also included in the lot. Provenance: Collection of The Hon Barry Jones AC. Signed.
