Item #115540 An autograph letter signed by Massenet ('M. Massenet') to an unnamed recipient, regretting that the late arrival of his interesting letter meant there was no time for them to meet that day. Jules Emile Frederic MASSENET, French composer.

An autograph letter signed by Massenet ('M. Massenet') to an unnamed recipient, regretting that the late arrival of his interesting letter meant there was no time for them to meet that day

Small octavo, one page (verso blank, with a conjugate blank); no year or address given, but 'En hate ... le 19 Nov ...').

Folded once across the centre; in excellent condition, with the signature large, bold and underlined.

One of the curiosities of Massenet is that he habitually signed with M., rather than his given name or initial. Massenet has come back into fashion and is more performed now than in the late twentieth century.

Provenance: Collection of The Hon Barry Jones AC.
