- Emmanuel CHABRIER. L.A.S., La Membrolle 29 May 1892, to Auguste Hirsch; 2 pages and a half in-8. [92-65] Very beautiful letter to his painter friend [Auguste Hirsch (1835-1912) is notably the author of the ceiling of the Célestins theatre in Lyon]. "Dear friend, old comrade, It is time to start shouting firmly in Lyon, in the authorized quarters and ears, that Gwendoline should be performed there. It was agreed in Nice, one rainy evening, that you would shake yourself like a poplar shaken by the winter winds. Do it finely, like your look, like your painting, like your face, with tact and elegance. You see, I consider you to be well-connected, and you have to find influential men, not in the mollusc movement, a bit of a city councillor, which is good everywhere and useful for that. Anyway, while you're at it, find the magpie in the nest. I work here, at my own clavichord easel; we both make circles, you to combine a tone, I to write the note; moreover the brush is held as a penholder is held. There is therefore a certain analogy in these two arts: an orchestral score, or to put it better, an orchestra, is no more than a palette. - And the dirty things that can be done with all that are unbelievable.
