MARCHESI

(Blanche, 1863-1940, Soprano concert singer)
Fine Autograph Letter in French with translation signed to Frank SCHUSTER
(1852-1927, the musical society host) saying What a shame! We'll eat with a tear in our left eye, thinking of the absent one. The happy absent who breathes that fresh St. Moritz air! But I don't want to complain too much. Here, in my new apartment, I'm like in the countryside and I find the air exquisite. It's a bit far away. But if I died on Cambridge Terrace, no one would wake me up. So, we'll take cabs, and I'll have regained my health. I'm giving my first morning class with students on March 6th. Will you be back? I'm very upset with Miss Dale. I shout my head off to open her mind and give her serious direction and a substantial repertoire. She sings Queen's Hall at the first good opportunity, a song she's been warbling along to for three years. Orpheus and his Lute by... Arthur Sullivan. What can I do! Lack of ambition, laziness, and flattery from friends prevent many good people from becoming true artists. I'm going to tell her I'll drop her if she doesn't work. It's like Miss Wilson. All she thinks about is skating. What can you do! If youth only knew! I'm extremely happy to hear a good song. I love Fauré's music. I have some very serious things in my notebooks; if you like, we'll have a look at all of that together one day. What about a morning of nothing but musical curiosities; for connoisseurs? What an amusing title and what fun for true lovers of beauty..., 4 sides oblong 8vo., 22 Greville Place, Maida Vale, Friday, no date

Background
Marchesi was a French mezzo-soprano and voice teacher best known for her interpretations of the works of Richard Wagner. She was the daughter of Mathilde Graumann Marchesi, a German voice instructor who taught a variety of well-known opera singers, including Emma Eames, Nellie Melba, and Emma Calvé. Transcription 22, Greville Place, Maida Vale NW, London. Friday. Dear Mr Frank Schuster, Quel dommage ! Nous mangerons avec une larme au coin de l'œil gauche en pensant à l'absent. L'heureux absent qui respire ce bel air de St Moritz ! Mais je ne veux pas trop me plaindre. Ici, dans mon nouvel appartement, je suis comme à la campagne et je trouve l'air exquis. On le trouve un peu loin. Mais si je mourais Cambridge Terrace, on ne me réveillerait pas. Donc, on prendra des cabs et moi j'aurai trouvé ma santé. Je donne ma première matinée d'élèves le 6 mars. Serez-vous de retour ? Je suis très mécontente de Miss Dale. Je m'époumone pour lui ouvrir l'intelligence et pour lui donner une direction sérieuse ainsi qu'un répertoire important. Elle chante Queen's Hall à la première bonne occasion, chanson qu'elle gazouille depuis 3 ans. Orpheus and his Luth de …. Arthur Sullivan. Que faire ! Le manque d'ambition, la paresse et les flatteries des amis empêchant beaucoup de bons sujets à devenir de vrais artistes. Je vais lui déclarer que je la lâche si elle ne travaille pas. C'est comme Miss Wilsson. Elle ne pense qu'au skating. Que faire ! Si jeunesse savait ! Je me réjouis énormément d'entendre la bonne chanson. J'adore la musique de Fauré. J'ai des choses très sérieuses dans mes cahiers si vous voulez nous verrons tout cela un jour ensemble. Que diriez-vous d'une matinée de rien que des musical curiosisms pour connoisseurs;. Quel titre amusant et quel amusement pour les vrais amateurs du beau. À bientôt n'est-ce pas. Très sincèrement Blanche Marchesi Translation 22 Greville Place, Maida Vale NW, London. Friday.
