Russian pianist, composer, and conductor who became a pivotal figure in Russian culture when he founded the Saint Petersburg Conservatory (1829–1894). Uncommon ALS signed “Ant. Rubinstein,” one page both sides, 6.25 x 9, May 4, 1857. Letter to his German publisher. In part (translated): “I have an opportunity to sell all of my compositions here for a very good price. Such a sale would be extremely advantageous to my future. Therefore I ask you to grant me the right to sell. This cannot be detrimental to you and it will be of considerable benefit to me…I hope that you, having been personally supportive of my artistic career, will not deny me this permission.” In very good condition, with fragile intersecting folds with partial edge separations (some noticeably repaired with tape), and mounting remnants to bottom of reverse. Accompanied by an unsigned postcard photo of Rubinstein bearing a facsimile signature.
