Milhaud, Darius. (1892–1974) [Stravinsky, Igor. (1882–1971)]. Octuor a Cordes (XIV & XV Quatuors) - INSCRIBED to STRAVINSKY. Paris: Heugel. 1949. Pocket score of Milhaud's rather marvelous "Octet for Double String Quartet which can also be perfomed separately," as printed on first page. [PN] H. 31276, 84pp. (5-1/2"x7-1/2"). The title page inscribed in blue ink by Milhaud to Igor Stravinsky, "a Igor Stravinsky, son admirateur, D.M." Wrappers somewhat faded with a few chips, overall fine. A remarkable association.


Milhaud composed a total of 18 string quartets, but the two quartets number 14 and 15 may be performed simultaneously. Prompted by the gift of a finely-bound 8-stave musical notebook from a friend, Milhaud composed the two string quartets from November 1948, to January 1949. They were premiered in the final performance of the 1949 Mills College Summer Session, separately, then together, by the Budapest and Paganini String Quartets.
