One page letter by the Dutch cellist, Paris, 21 February, 1892.

Hollman writes to a German friend accepting his invitation for the 12th of March.  He tells him he is writing in French as it is easier.

Hollman (1852-1927) was a pupil of Servais and Fétis in Brussels, Jacquard in Paris and Davidoff in St. Petersburg, he became one of the most important touring cellists of the 19th and early 20th Century.  A close friend of Camille Saint-Saëns, he dedicated his 2nd Cello Concerto to him.  Leonhard Emil Bach also wrote for Hollman.  Liszt exclaimed When he plays, the soul is his bow

Hollman spent most of his life in Paris, where he also composed for the cello.  His latter years were spent in London.

Perfect for display.
