[Letter, Igor Stravinsky to unnamed friends, September 25 1946] Stravinsky, Igor, 1882-1971

Description

Autograph signed letter, 17.5 x 13.5 cm, 25 September 1946, in Russian (excepting dates, cities, and "concert tours"), lacking its envelope and addressee. The letter's single fold suggests that it was mailed to such unidentified Russian­ speaking "Dear friends" as George Balanchine (1904-83), or Alexei Haieff (1914-94), or Lucia Davidova, but perhaps not to Nicolas Nabokov (1903-78), then in Europe, returning to the USA in January 1947.
