MINT CONDITION, BOLD AUTOGRAPH IN BLUE APPEARS LIGHT |
DARIUS MILHAUD - COMPOSER |
|
Autographed 3” x 5” glossy photograph by the prolific French composer. He signs “Best wishes, Milhaud.” Darius Milhaud was born into a family of wealthy Jewish merchants. His early recognized talent brought him to the Paris Conservatoire in 1909. Study with Widor, Dukas, Leroux, Lefevre and others led to first in violin and counterpoint and a second in fugue. The French poet, dramatist and diplomat Paul Claudel took the young Milhaud to Brazil as his secretary when he was appointed French Minister to Brazil. The indigenous music of the country greatly influenced the composer and such works as “Le Boeuf sur le toit,” “Caramel Mou,” “Saudades do Brasil” and many other came from the jazz influences her heard there. As a Jew, Milhaud was forced to leave France and he emigrated to the U.S. where he stayed until 1971, moving to Geneva thereafter. Milhaud will always be remembered as part of the group of young French composers during the 1920’s labeled, “Les Six”
This autographed photo bears a bold blue ballpoint signature which scans poorly, thus priced as follows.
