Gabriel FAURÉ. L.A.S., Monte Carlo 7 April [1919], to a friend [probably Edmond Duvernoy]; ¾ page in-4. On the death of Marianne Viardot, to whom Fauré had been engaged for a time. [Marianne Viardot (1856-1919), daughter of the singer Pauline Viardot, had been engaged to Fauré in 1877; after their engagement broke down, she married the pianist and composer Alphonse Duvernoy (1842-1907), brother of the baritone and pianist Edmond Duvernoy (1844-1926).] "I have just learned with the most painful surprise and the most sincere emotion the death of Marianne. I did not know she was ill. How was she taken away so prematurely? Will you please send me the address of her daughter [Suzanne Duvernoy]? How are you, who are so terribly struck down one after another?"...
