An amusing signed statement with a short autograph musical quotation from the great violin virtuoso. He has penned (translated from the French): "For the album / The violin is like the cicada because to make it sing, you must rub its belly." He adds a short musical quotation of two measures, and signs at the foot. Small tear to the right edge, folding crease; overall very good. 5.25 x 8.25 inches (13 x 20 cm).
