- Emmanuel CHABRIER. L.A.S., 26 September 1889, to Gaston Sarreau; 1 1/2 pages oblong in-12. [89-110] About the baritone François Mondaud, who is to sing Gwendoline in Rouen. [The Bordeaux pianist and composer Gaston Sarreau (1850-1935) conducted the concerts of the Cercle philharmonique de Bordeaux, and sculpted a medallion of Chabrier]. "The day before yesterday I spent two hours with Mondaud in Rouen, and I hasten to thank you for the incredible advice you gave him. The poor fellow must have had a hard time of it! He beats the time, he deducts his beats, he sweats like crazy! He is the "musician in spite of himself"! - But he has the devil's good will and I think he'll be fine! [...] And my bust?"... A visiting card with 3 autographed lines is attached; and a l.a.s. from Marcel Chabrier to Sarreau, on the presentation of Gwendoline in Bordeaux (13 December 1907).
