BOULANGER, NADIA
(1887 - 1979) French conductor, first woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic and other notable orchestras. Uncommon A.N.S. signed with initials ""NB"", 2pp. 8vo., on a printed Christmas card to Dick Hammond, a New York musician and colleague of Leopold Stokowski, Igor Stravinsky, and others. In part: ""àBetter late than never, but the fact is that I have received the beautiful little bag, that I just need, that I love it, and have said not a word. Had I been happy with this silent, good, but not a second of peace: remorse, shame, all a varied troup [sic] of disturbed ! Truly, when I consider your true genius for giving gifts, I can find a whole system of philosophy: if you forget yourself in the others, you find everythingàIt seems to be a joke. It is only the start of a long letter I shall probably never write, as I shall never have our long talk, but, at least you must know that there letters & talks existà"". Slight smearing to signature, otherwise very good.
