Signed Hand Tracing

Original outline of the Spanish musicologist and composer's left hand, traced in pencil, boldly signed in ink and dated Valencia, January 29, 1951 on an album leaf titled "Forget-Me-Not." Left edge rough and some light toning; overall in fine condition. 7.5 x 10 inches (19 x 25.7 cm).

"Following a brief career as a lawyer he became a distinguished composer and critic, choral and orchestral conductor, lecturer and teacher. From 1898 until shortly before his death he was music critic for the Valencian daily Las provincias. In 1903 he founded and directed the Valencian Chamber Orchestra, which enabled him to perform works by eastern Spanish composers, including his own, thereby succeeding Salvador Giner (1832–1911) in the role of spokesman for the regional Valencian school of contemporary Spanish music... His compositions show a great diversity of styles and instrumental combinations, with extensive use of traditional melodies."
