BIZET Georges (1838 - 1875) - Lot 21
BIZET Georges (1838 - 1875) L.A.S. "Georges Bizet", [Saint-Gratien summer 1869, to painter Louis-Godefroy JADIN ?]; 4 pages in-8. Beautiful letter during his honeymoon. "Your letters smell of sunshine. Here we have half a beautiful weather, a shameful, fearful sun, a sun that has many things on its conscience. I wish I could take my Genevieve with me... but we must wait. We are always and will always be happy here.... and delighted to make a place for you beside us. I work myself to death. Pasdeloup has become enthusiastic about Halévy's Noé - I had to sign a treaty and commit myself to handing over the work, act by act, at very short intervals. - I can't sleep at night. - The first act must be given to him on 15 September, the second on 30 September, the third on 15 August and the fourth on 31 August. - The 4th is to be composed in its entirety - there is quite a bit to do in the others and the 1st alone is instrumented by Halévy. - You see what a cart! We have more or less stopped our business with Du Locle. - We are waiting for the last changes before exposing ourselves in a definitive way. - In short, business is going to work. I'm going to live in a charming apartment. - and I count on you for one of the ornaments of my cabinet. - a nice sunbathing, thank you!"... Then he makes fun of Auguste MERMET who finishes his Jeanne d'Arc, and who tells that the Pucelle comes to visit him at night, to correct his music... At the end of the letter, Geneviève BIZET added some friendly lines.
