Cycle de sept mélodies inédites pour chant et piano sur des poèmes de Paul Eluard, in first draft and final version. Both manuscripts are written on 12-line paper. The first-draft manuscript is written in black pencil, in rapid, highly cursive handwriting on 2 double-leaf pages. It bears a dedication in black ink: à Jacques Matarasso bien sympathiquement et amicalement je dédie ces sept petits poèmes pour la paix de notre ami Eluard, qu'il me procura à Nice et dont je composai la musique à son intention. Nice 17.9.49 R. Caby . The fine-tuning is carefully noted in black ink, and ends with the date: Fait à Nice le samedi 17 septembre au matin . The dedication to Jacques Matarasso appears at the head of the title page and music. At the head of the score, Caby indicates that these 7 Poèmes are played without interruption: Tous les camarades du monde ... (Lento with nonchalance); Après le combat dans la foule ... (Moderately With simplicity); Mon enfant capricieux ... (Gai, simplement, Pas vite) ; Travaille Travail de mes dix doigts ... (Moderato) ; Ma belle, il nous faut voir fleurir ... (Allegro moderato With lightness and freshness); I need a lover ... (Lento gravement et très doux) ; Toute la fleur des fruits ... (Allegro très moderato Calme). The issue of the magazine Que vlo-ve? (January-March 1990) devoted to Robert Caby, Apollinaire's musician, is enclosed. [Robert Caby, a disciple of Erik Satie, communist and Trotskyite militant, had been close to the Surrealists and Paul Eluard, many of whose poems he set to music].
