Maurice OHANA (1913-1992). Autograph music manuscript signed, Syrtes for cello and piano, 1970; [2]-16 leaves 35 x 27 cm. Piece for cello and piano, written for Mstislav Rostropovitch, who premiered it, with the author at the piano, on March 15, 1972, at the Espace Cardin. [CCP71, p. 377-378] "Written at the request of Mstislav Rostropovitch, this duet for cello and piano exploits the sound resources of both instruments equally in a single-stream dialogue, in monothematic form, unfolding a series of episodes in contrast with one another." (Christine Prost). The manuscript is carefully written in Indian ink on 16-line tracing paper. The title page is calligraphied, with the monogram MO and the date 1970. A sheet of "Notes pour l'exécution" also gives the indication of the creation and the duration: about 16 minutes.
