- Emmanuel CHABRIER. L.A.S. "Emmanuel", La Membrolle Thursday [October or November 1888], to Catulle Mendès; 1 1/4 pages in-8. [88-111] About Briséïs (the opera will remain unfinished). "I am looking for my ten to twelve p[rinci]p[au]x themes" - ; then I will look for the 2nd order themes -, shorter, but very incisive. He cites 4 lines cut out in Act 2 between the two deaconesses, as well as 4 more from Briséïs to Hylas in Act 3. "These 8 lines are not in the work you dictated to me. Shall I restore them or disregard them?"... Attached is a L.A.S. on telegram-card to Catulle Mendès about the work on Briséïs, [14 April 1888, 88-38]. Plus a L.A.S. from Catulle Mendès to Chabrier, 18 May 1887 (4 p. in-8), on the subject of Le Roi malgré lui, praising the composer's "very powerful and very violent and very bitter talent," but criticizing the bad libretto [87-4n.]; and a L.A. from Mendès to Eug. Bertrand before Gwendoline at the Opéra (1893).
