Lipatti, Dinu. (1917-1950)

Typed Letter Signed

An important and very rare autograph letter. 1 pp. Geneva, 21.9.1946, To Madame Reichel in Lausanne, sending his regrets that he is unable to help her because of his demaniding work at the moment, the "préparation de 50 concerts pour cette saison, Concours International de Genève avec 188 pianistes, une classe régulière de 12 élèves par semaine au Conservatoire, compositions a finir etc."


Dinu Lipatti died of Hodgkin's disease at the age of 33, in December of 1950. Considered one of the finest pianists of the 20th century, he left an impressive recorded legacy despite the brevity of his performing career. Autograph material of any kind is very uncommon. (11159)
