Autograph letter from the Venezuelan-French composer, conductor, critic and singer known for his mélodies, thanking his correspondent for his praise of Hahn's new book (perhaps his 1920 collection of lectures, Du Chant) and mentioning a letter from the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. N.p, n.d. [ca. 1920?]. Translated from the French: "Dear friend, I am on my way back, or rather, I certainly will be next Monday. You may certainly send me the letter from d'Annunzio. The praise which you give my little book make me quite blush with embarrassment. It is such cheek for a musical hack like me to dare to write in prose! When one is used to advancing on five rails, it goes to one's head when one must travel on the rocky terrain of the French language! Yours, Reynaldo Hahn." 2 pp. Folding creases and a strip of mounting tape on the verso; overall in fine condition. 4.75 x 6.5 inches (12.2 x 16.7 cm).
