Eminent and prolific Russian composer (1891–1953) best known for his colorful, rhythmically vigorous works, including symphonies, operas, and much music for keyboard and chamber ensembles. TLS in French, one page, 8.25 x 10.5, March 27, 1932. Prokofiev writes to Monsieur Schwerke from Paris, translated, in full: “Included herewith are all necessary materials to make your work easier. I am giving you 32 pieces all together, counting the biography notice that I gave you the other time as No. 1. Would you please be kind enough to return all this material to me after finishing the work. I have called the photographer who is prepared to give you a free polished surface copy. Please call Studio Iris, Littré 37-64. When your work is finished, I would like to skim through it, not to influence you, but to eliminate the mistakes that could slide into it, due to translation of different languages in which the materials were given to you.” Light creasing, a staple mark to the top edge, a few pencil notations to the top and bottom, and some light brushing to the beginning of the signature, otherwise fine condition.
