Massenet, Jules. (1842-1912)
Signed Photograph with Autograph Musical Quotation from “Werther.”
AMQS on an off-white 3.5 x 5.5 photo of the composer, which also bears a pre-printed signature and musical quote. Massenet pens two bars of music from ‘Werther,’ inscribing above, in French, “In respectful hommage to Mlle G. Marre,” and signed, “certified correct copy! J. Massenet.”Massenet's Werther is thrilling, tuneful, and one of the saddest operas ever composed — it ends with a suicide on Christmas Eve. It was first performed in Vienna, on February 16, 1892.
