Description

Scarce handwritten invitation to a "fancy Count's dinner" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Rare ALS in French, signed “P. Tchaikovsky,” one page, 5 x 5, no date. Handwritten letter by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, in part (roughly translated): "Don't forget the fancy Count's dinner. Do you want to take part in a party, at Jurgenson's?" Handsomely matted and framed beside an engraved portrait (with facsimile signature) to an overall size of 16.75 x 12. In fine condition. Tchaikovsky is presumably referring to his friend and music publisher, Pyotr Jurgenson, who helped to launch his career and later managed his business affairs.
