| Description |
Sewn as issued, thumbed and lower outer corners with little tears, lower inner corner of final leaf missing and infilled, with loss of one note. Inscribed and signed "À Madame Jeanne Mortier, en respectueux homage [sic]", at the head of the title, by the composer. The work was composed in September 1912, dedicated to Marthe Dron, and first performed on 18 January 1913. “Une des oeuvres les plus caratéristiques de Roussel où l’on trouve sa nostalgie des paysages lontains, et son goût de l’ironie et de l’humour. Elle unit à une fort pulsation intérieure un riche contenu émotif” (Catalogue de l’oeuvre d’Albert Roussel, p.92). |
