Summary:

Major personality of musical life in France in the first decades of the 20th centuryMaurice Emmanuel (1862-1938) built an original work at the crossroads of musical creation, the science of antiquity and musicology. The letters in this volume, mostly unpublished, reveal the extent of a composer's search for new means of expression, and he was a Hellenist and a prominent music historian. But the correspondence of this artist, emblematic of a certain "classical modernity", testifies equally to the human qualities of a musician who has marked such diverse personalities as Léo Delibes, Antoine Marmontel, Théodore Dubois, Paul Dukas, Ferruccio Busoni, Jacques Copeau , Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Charles Koechlin, Paul Desjardins, Jacques Rouché, Charles Tournemire, Olivier Messiaen, Georges Migot, Henri Dutilleux.Translation of part of page 4 of cover by Éditions Vrin.
