Erlih, Devy. (1928–2012). Signed Recital Program. Inscribed program of two identical duo recitals by the outstanding French violinist and teacher, given in Casablanca and Rabat (Morocco) on December 7 and 8, 1948 to the accompaniment of pianist Andrée Davenet (1919–2013).  In French, with program annotations by composer and pianist Maurice Imbert (1893–1980). Inscription to title (translated from the French):  "To Miss Jacqueline Benarrosh with all my thanks for a wonderful afternoon of work. With my affection Devy Erlih."  9.5 x 6.25 inches (24.3 x 16 cm).  Horizontal and vertical folds; punch holes from needles to upper margin; considerable wear; else fine.

Uncommon.  Devy Erlih, born in Paris to immigrants from what is now Moldova, was a violinist whose parents owned and operated a "pops" orchestra performing in cafes.  Being Jewish, he managed to survive the German occupation in hiding.  After the war he quickly rose to prominence. He premiered several new concertos, including the Second Violin Concerto by Darius Milhaud and concertos by André Jolivet and Henri Tomasi.  He taught in Paris in his final decades, first at the conservatory and later at the École normale.

Jacqueline Benarrosh (1928–2018) was a promising Casablanca-born pianist who later studied at the Paris conservatory.  While in Paris, she met her husband, an American Air Force man who became a physician after the Korean War.  She lived with him in Stamford, Conn.
