Description

8vo. 4 pp. in purple ink, mounted as individual leaves within a half-leather 4to volume (200 x 280 mm), with a wood-engraved portrait of Colonne mounted on the green marbled upper cover. The full manuscript of Colonne's preface to the book "Les symphonies de Beethoven" by the French musicologist Jacques-Gabriel Prod’homme (1871-1956), published by Delagrave in 1906. A beautifully presented literary contribution in which Colonne expresses "la joie émue, la tendresse profunde, l'admiration sans réserve qui me courbent, humble et pieux fidèle devant Beethoven, ce maître suprême, le plus grand peut-être, parmi les Dieux qui peulent l'Olympe musical. Bien jeune encore, j'ai sacrifié sur son autel, et son culte a été la religion de toute ma vie [.]". - Prod’homme's work received the Prix Charles-Blanc of the Académie Française for 1907.
