LEONCAVALLO RUGGERO: (1857-1919) Italian Composer. An excellent signed and inscribed sepia cabinet photograph depicting the composer standing in a three quarter length pose. Photograph by Atelier Langhans of Marienbad. Signed in bold dark fountain pen ink to a light area at the head of the image, with an inscription in German and French, `A mein liber Freund Heinrich Grunfeld, Souvenir de bonne et loyale amitie, R. Leoncavallo` Dated in the composer`s hand Marienbad, 17th July 1894. To a light area of the background at the right of the image Leoncavallo has boldly penned a musical quotation of two bars which he identifies as being from Bajazzo (the German name of Pagliacci, the quotation being for cello from Pagliacci`s aria Vesta la Giubba, sung by Canio at the close of the first act). A fine signed portrait, enhanced with a musical quotation from the composer`s most famous opera, and with an interesting association. Very slightly, neatly trimmed to the edges, just affecting the photographer`s mount and not the image or signature, otherwise VG Heinrich Grunfeld (1855-1931) Bohemian-Austrian Violoncellist, appointed court violoncellist to King William of Prussia in 1866.
BRITTEN BENJAMIN: (1913-1976) English Composer. A.M.Q.S., Benjamin Britten, to the inside page of a slim 4to programme, n.p. (Amsterdam), n.d. (July 1964).
