Jullien, Louis-Antoine - Set of 2 Autograph Letters Signed
French composer (1812-1860) and conductor.
Set of two autograph letters in French (untranslated) signed by him, as follows:
A. Coblentz le 23 AoĂ»t 1847. To the journalist and music publisher LĂ©on Escudier (1821-1881): ââŠje vous envoie les traitĂ©s signĂ©s puisquâils contiennent plusieurs petites choses sur les quelles jâai des objections Ă faireâŠâ. 3 pp. In-4.
B. Not dated. To the director of the London Royal Opera House Frederick Gye (1810-1878): ââŠje crois donc quâavant mon dĂ©part il ne serait pas inutile de nous entendre sur quelques petits pointsâŠâ. 2 pp. In-8.
ALSO INCLUDED is a printed first page of the 29th of August 1852 edition of the magazine âGazzetta Musicale di Milanoâ. He was compelled to leave Paris to escape his creditors, and came to live in London (1840-1856), where he formed a good orchestra and conducted bands and orchestras at promenade concerts. These had existed in London's pleasure gardens since the mid-18th century, but under the direction of Jullien (and later Sir Arthur Sullivan) indoor proms became a feature of 19th-century musical life in London from 1838. The annual series of BBC Proms continuing today had their roots in that movement.
SOLD TOGETHER, NOT SOLD SEPARATELY.
