Beschreibung

8vo. Together 11 pp. Charming private correspondence with a close female friend, discussing a broad range of topics, including health and family matters, the Dreyfus-affair, gourmet food, often sent by the recipient, the upcoming publication of the cycle Les Rondels (1899) and concerts of Hahn's compositions. Hahn's excitement for good food can be illustrated by this particularly charming remark, thanking his correspondent for a ham and detailing its preparation and the wine he will serve it with: "Épatant, ce cuissot ou plutôt ce jambon car c est le terme exact. Il sera mariné avec amour et mangé avec une sauce Romaine. Un âpre Clos-Vougeot mêlera ses aromes à la sapidité de la venaison" ("The haunch, or ham for that matter, is amazing. It will be lovingly marinated and eaten with a Roman sauce. A harsh Clos-Vougeot will mingle its aromas with the sapidity of the venison"). - Well preserved.
