[Enesco, Georges. (1881–1955)] Enescu, Marie Cantacuzene. (1879 - 1968) & Menuhin, Yehudi. (1916–1999). Telegrams and a Typed Letter Signed.

Two telegrams from the lover of the Romanian composer-violinist George Enesco, Princess Marie Cantacuzene Enescu,  invitations to a 1947 breakfast and a Menuhin/Enescu 1946 concert in Paris. Together with a 1950 TLS from Menuhin, all addressed to Antares [Michael/Michel] Parvulescu. Originally a student of Enesco in Paris, by the time of the Menuhin letter, Parvulescu was pursuing a career in science and the letter is a response to an inquiry about employment leads soon after he'd arrived in the US.


The Romanian violinist, conductor and composer Georges Enesco (or George Enescu) was considered by Pablo Casals "one of the greatest geniuses of modern music." He was also a hugely important mentor to the younger violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who began studying with him in Paris in the 1927, at the age of only 11. While Menuhin shot to fame, Enesco's work has stayed in relative obscurity—perhaps due to his modesty, perhaps due to the difficulties he experienced amid the tumult of post-war Europe. The two remained close, often collaborating and making several recordings with Menuhin as soloist and Enesco as conductor.
