8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. With autograph address. To a Madame de Lira, explaining why he did not come to her house and advising her that she must ask him to come a few days in advance, as he is very busy teaching and playing in salons: "Je viens d'apprendre que Vous êtes venus aujourd'hui chez nous pour savoir la cause de ma non-apparition chez Vous. La chose est positive. Comme la lettre de Mademoiselle ne motivait pas de réponse, je n'ai pas répondu, car elle m'annonçait seulement que Vous restez chez Vous - mais aussi la dernière fois que je suis allé Vous voir je Vous ai pré, Madame, de vouloir bien m'écrire quelques jours d'avance et je viendrai [.]". - With collector's note in pencil. Somewhat creased.

2 SS. auf Doppelblatt. Gr.-8vo. An einen namentlich nicht genannten Verleger in Paris zur Übersendung von acht Kompositionen und mit dem Wunsch, daß der Adressat sein Verleger für Paris werden würde: [] je vous envoie ci-joints plusieurs nouveaux morceaux que j'ai composé à Berlin et qui [?] tous chez M. Trautwein. Je désire vivement que vous soyez mon Editeur pour Paris, et voilà pourquoi je me fis[?] tout à fait à vous pour [?] il y aura Huit morceaux en tout [] et tout cela Brillant et pas trop difficile [.]." Er sei am Hofe sehr erfolgreich gewesen, und seine Stücke erschienen innerhalb von 3 Monaten schon in der 2. Auflage. Außerdem sei ihm vom König die Goldene Medaille für seine Verdienste in der Kunst verliehen worden: [.] Je suis ici très aimé à la Cour du Roi, mes morceaux ont obtenu [?] dans l'Espace de trois mois; 2. Edition, ce qui est assez flatteur pour moi et excellent pour l'Editeur [] J'ai reçu du Roi la Grande Médaille d'Or pour le mérite dans les Arts [.]." Für den Winter kündigt er seinen Besuch in Paris an und schließt mit der Mitteilung, daß die Bezahlung der Manuskripte bei seiner Mutter, 15 Rue du Hâvre, erfolgen könne. Was die Werke angehe, so sei er sich seiner Zufriedenheit sicher. Der aus Krakau stammende Komponist war ein Schüler von John Field und studierte am Wiener Konservatorium, anschließend wirkte er als Pianist in Paris und als Hofpianist in Berlin bzw. später in Sankt Petersburg. Nach einem Aufenthalt in London lebte Kontski von 1883 bis zu seinem Tod in New York. Er komponierte über vierhundert großenteils brillante Salonstücke für das Klavier, darunter berühmte Charakterstücke wie Das Erwachen des Löwen'. Daneben verfaßte er auch eine Oper (Marcello', 1880) und drei Operetten: Les Deux Distraits' (nach Die Zerstreuten' von August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue, 1872), Anastasie' (1882) und Le Sultan de Zanzibar' (1885)" (Wikipedia, Abfrage v. 5. X. 2008). In sehr dünner, wäßriger Tinte; mit kl. Vermerk von fremder Hand am linken oberen Rand der Recto-Seite von Bl. 1 und einem kleinen unbedeutenden Einriß im Mittelfalz.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. To the composer Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmerman (1785-1853), presenting him with a work for piano students of which he hopes Zimmerman will approve: "Je viens soumettre à votre autorité, un ouvrage destiné aux Pianiste étudiantes. Un mot de Votre approbation sera pour moi un vrai succès. Je l'attends de cette amitité que Vous m'avez toujours temoigné et que j'apprecierai toute ma vie avec un attachement amical [.]". - A note regarding the former collector and donor on the reverse: "donné par M. Zimmermann". - With a later collector's number "64" in pencil. Traces of former mounting on reverse. A few small marginal flaws.

8vo. 2 pp. on bifolium. With autogr. address. To Charles de Beauregard, editor of "La Gazette de France", apologizing for a misunderstanding which occurred due to his father's poor command of French. Beauregard's niece, Madame Jourdan, thought that de Kontski would like to play a concert with her, but he is too busy this year: "[.] Mme Jourdan m'a écrit comme si je lui ferait la proposition de donner le concerte avec elle, mais cette année étant tellement occupé des leçons et des soirées [.]". - The Polish-born pianist and composer lived in Paris from 1835 to 1851, and from 1851 to 1853 served as Prussian court pianist in Berlin. After stages in St. Petersburg (1854-67) and London (1867-83) he settled in the United States, teaching in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He died during a concert tour of the world at the age of 82, on the Polish border. - Some stains.

Signed "Natulie de Kontski." To "Mr. Parnell." Dated [London], May 28, 1871. In purple ink. This letter offers a fascinating glimpse into the 19th-century virtuoso's art of self-promotion. Together with: - Manuscript drafts of two articles in Natulie's hand lauding her husband's piano playing. She hopes Parnell will edit and publish them in upcoming issues of British newspapers."I take the liberty of sending you this article to be inserted on Tuesday next through your kind intervention in the Dayly Telegraph - Dayly News, the Times, the Standard and Observer if possible. I trust you will oblige me by putting it in better inglish[!] and different kind of style - but be so kind as not to change the chief attraction and comparison with [Sigismond] Thalberg and [Franz] Listz[!] - You are only allowed to dwell a little more, if you think it advisable - We hope you will do us the favor to come and dine with us on Sunday next - sans cérémonie - I rejoice at the idea of preparing your pipe myself and handing it to you lighted." - "For the Daily Telegraph." 2 pp. Octavo. In purple ink. "The first summer Ballad Concert under the direction of Mr. John Boussey took place last night at St. James Hall. but the chief attraction was the marvellous execution of the incomparable artist Chevalier de Kontski, Pianist to the Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia - who played for the first time Spanish airs with the brilliant and melodious style of Thalberg, and the fougue of Listz[!]. The Chevalier is the only surviving pianist who unites all the styles combined together adding the poetical expression that distinguishes him from all the other pianists." - "For the Times or Observer." 1 page. Octavo. In purple ink.

The unusual expression which marks his playing, and the great power of sound he produces are the chief ingredients of his success." Slightly worn, foxed and stained; creased at folds; remnants of adhesive; pagination notated in red pencil to lower portion of several pages. Polish pianist and composer Anton de Kontski studied with John Field, Sigismond Thalberg, and Simon Sechter. "He was a court pianist in Berlin between 1851 and 1853, and between 1854 and 1867 he was in St Petersburg, where he founded the Classical Music Lovers' Society. Later he lived in London and from 1883 to 1896 in America. In 1897 he started a world tour, visiting Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, Siberia and Warsaw. He died during this tour. He was decorated with orders by many kings in Europe. His playing was characterized by great delicacy of touch and brilliance of execution, but some critics considered him superficial. His repertory changed from virtuoso pieces to more serious works by Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Mendelssohn . He composed over 400 salon pieces, published in Germany, France, Russia and England, of which Le réveil du lion op.115 became widely popular. He also composed symphonies, piano concertos, overtures, chamber and sacred music as well as operas . He also wrote a piano tutor L'indispensable du pianiste, published in French, German and Russian." Paul David et al. in Grove Music Online. Signed.
