Russian-born composer and writer (1903-1978) who became a US citizen in 1939. Two items: a TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Peabody Conservatory of Music letterhead, no date, in part: "Mr. Luis Escobar has been my student for the last two years. He has still to learn a great deal before he can become a real composer. He has worked intensely and I believe has learned a lot about the genuine structure of music, about musical forms, about the use of musical materials and the various techniques and styles of music…I would recommend him wholeheartedly for a renewal of his scholarship for next year, but I believe it would be extremely advantageous for Mr. Escobar to live in New York City and continue his studies with me there. New York offers unrivaled important advantages to a young gifted musician. It provides him with the opportunity of listening to much more concerts and establishing fruitful contacts with other musicians, both performers and composers"; and a fountain pen signature, "Nicolas Nabokov," on an off-white 6 x 4 card. In very good to fine condition, with light staining and creasing to the letter.
