Important Spanish composer (1876-1946) who takes a place among the most distinguished figures in twentieth-century music. ALS in French, seven pages on two sets of adjoining sheets, 5 x 6.5, April 29, 1921. Letter to his friend, publisher, and associate Henry Prunieres. In part (translated): "Since the fragment of El Amor Brujo and the Spanish Songs are being proofread by Chester & Eschig...it's simpler for the engraver to use the proofs...I implore you to ask the engraver not to lose them because I'll need them for the concerts in London! I'm sending you two songs to choose: Asturiana and Polo with the Fr. translation of the text which I ask you to please correct and which you can have printed at the head of the song, after the title. If the Polo isn't too long I prefer it to the Asturiana to accompany the fragment El Amor Brujo. But, I repeat, it's your decision. When I get to Paris I'll correct the proofs...I'm working like crazy which isn't good at all for my health." He adds a postscript, signed "F," in part: "The April issue of the Review [La Revue Musicale, published by Prunieres] hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid it's lost in the mail." In fine condition.
