Of special interest is the signed piece by Joaquin Nin.  A student of Moritz Moszkowski, he toured as a pianist and was known as a composer and arranger of popular Spanish folk music. Nin was a member of the Spanish Academy and the French Legion of Honor and, with singer Rosa Culmell, was the father of Thorvald Nin, composer Joaquin Nin-Culmell, and writer Anaïs Nin. (18023)
