Description

Italian composer (1863-1945) whose 1890 masterpiece ‘Cavalleria rusticana’ takes a place among the most beloved staples of the operatic repertoire. Impressive AMQS on an off-white 6.5 x 20 sheet, signed and inscribed in ink, "Alla illustre signora Susanna Torres de Castex…P. Mascagni, Buenos Aires, Giugno 1911." Mascagni pens sections of three of his songs—"Cavalleria—Siciliana," "Iris—Serenata," and "Isabeau"—writing music and lyrics for each passage. A postcard portrait, bearing his facsimile signature, is affixed at the top. Archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 11.5 x 25. In very fine condition.
