[Roussel, Honegger] Hoérée, Arthur. (1897 - 1986) . Interesting Signed Musical Quotations. A highly unusual set of musical quotations, penned by the Belgian-French composer and musicologist, close associate and collaborator with Roussel and Honegger (with whom he collaborated nine times between 1933 and 1952) and a highly successful film composer in his own right. On a large oblong page (36 x 40 cm), Hoérée pens 2 "Fanfares" for Roussel and Honegger, dated 1952 and addressed to the actor Marcel Cuvelier (b. 1924), as an hommage to the Societe Philarmonique de Bruxelles. Beside the AMQS, he writes in French, in full: "Voici, mon cher Marcel Cuvelier, les premieres mesures de 'Fanfares' pour Albert Roussel et Arthur Honegger, deux musiciens que vous aimes et que j'aime. / En souvenir du 'Festival Roussel' et des inoubliables représentations de 'Jeanne d'Arc au Bucher' .... C'était au Palais des Beaux Arts, temple accusillant et familier de la musique vivante, grace a l'action de cette Société Philharmonique de Bruxelles dont on fete le jubilé 'd'argent.' J'ajoute volontiers quelques épisa la traditionelle couronne qui vous revient. / A vous, de tout coeur, Arthur Hoérée. Paris, Mai 1952."

In very fine condition, a highly unusual presentation AMQS with an interesting contextualizing letter.
