INDY Vincent d' (1851-1931). 5 L.A.S. " Vincent d'Indy ", 1897-1902, to Gustave SAMAZEUILH; 4 pages in-8 each (3 for the last one; the 1st on mourning paper). Beautiful musical and friendly correspondence. Les Faugs September 9, 1897. He agrees to go to Frankfurt to conduct Wallenstein in November, but on condition that he be paid: "I am getting tired of conducting Wallenstein by eye, or even with my pfennigs, I am no longer interested enough in it. He would like to get back the material for Saugefleurie, which he had sent to Nikisch at Albeniz's request, but of which he has no news. Mottl gives up the idea of mounting Fervaal; the same goes for Munich, despite the support of Richard Strauss. He takes advantage of his peace to finish his Quartet "and with strings, again!"... Barcelona November 18, 1898. On his concerts: "I have an orchestra, composed (at least for the woodwinds and horns) of mediocre elements, but of such sensitivity that expression comes out at the slightest movement of the little finger"; he tells of successes with Beethoven, the Tannhauser Overture, his own Wallenstein (7 encores, "no more and no less than an Italian tenor"), Franck's Psyché, Albeniz; but, for Bréville and Ropartz, "polar coldness"... Toulon 4 January 1899. He returned to Paris for his classes, with 30 students enrolled; he spoke of the progress of L'Étranger, and the writing of a " Suite in 2 numbers (almost 3) for 1 flute, 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 horn, 2 bassoons "; he spoke of his enthusiasm after the welcome he had received in Barcelona... Les Faugs 18 August 1899. He worked well, finishing the first act of The Stranger; "I have imposed upon myself the task of finishing the Quartet of this poor CHAUSSON, and I believe that the end, taken almost entirely from his notes, is good and will allow the work to be presented, not as unfinished fragments, but as a whole that holds together well, the Andante is really admirable, the first movement a little more confused and in the old style of Chausson, the Intermezzo (which is now a finale) is charming... Paris, September 23, 1902. He finishes his Symphony: "I only have to write the orchestra"... The death of the Queen of the Belgians will delay L'Étranger at La Monnaie... Then he talks about his Symphony... A L.A.S. is attached. Paris April 7, 1897, to Mme Samazeuilh, thanking her for her welcome in Bordeaux (4 p. in-8, mourning).
