ROUSSEL Albert [Tourcoing, 1869 - Royan, 1937], French compo - Lot 286
ROUSSEL Albert [Tourcoing, 1869 - Royan, 1937], French composer composer. Autograph letter signed, addressed to a friend. January 9, 1921; 2 folio pages. Albert Roussel receives an idea for a concert from his friend, but but complains about the difficulties of putting on shows. "The idea you communicate to me is indeed very beautiful beautiful and grandiose and of such a nature as to tempt an artist. And I'll would say 'yes' to you right away if we were still before the war war and if events had not so profoundly disrupted your entire musical organization. It is more and more difficult and it will be impossible tomorrow, to perform works with choral works in concert, due to the increase in union caused by the fall in living standards and the criminal indifference and the criminal indifference of our governments to everything musical art. As for the theater, only opera can attempt to perform works of this kind (always at a loss, by the way). but I've been waiting for two years for the rehearsal of a work rehearsals of a work commissioned from me by M. Rouché in 1913, the subject of which is a Hindu legend.
