| Description |
Gilt decorative silk covers (corners a little worn), original publisher's printed wrappers bound in. Title with minor foxing, otherwise a nice copy, with illustrations from the pantomime throughout. With an autograph musical quotation of four bars, inscribed in French to "the most faithful spectator of L’Enfant Prodigue, Paul Gallimard, ... the author, André Wormser". First performed at the Cercle Funambulesque on 14 June 1890 and again the following week at the Bouffes Parisiens on the 21 June. Dedicated to Félicia Mallet. Wormser studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Antoine François Marmontel and François Bazin; in 1875 he won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome with the cantata Clytemnestre. He composed ballets, operettas, vaudevilles, symphonic works, chamber music, songs and piano works, but he was best known for his music to this pantomime. |
