Darius MILHAUD (1892-1974). L.A.S. D.M. to violinist Yvonne Astruc; 3 pages in-8 on paper with decorative embossed border. He went to Meyrargues, a small village where crayfish are famous. He awaits details for the Roanne concert, and is delighted that arrangements have been made with Francis [Poulenc] for his sonata . He worked well for Yvonne on arrangements by Erik Satie: 1° Gymnopédie, Jack in the Box, stunning for a record and excellent petit a et b for concerts. 2° La Suite d'après les Morceaux en forme de Poire is finished. 7 pieces. This is delightful music that lends itself admirably to a violin transcription. How could no one have thought of it? He's waiting for an answer from the Vichysois, and must see Rey from Radio-Marseille, as I'll be conducting a little ridididuradada there in September, and he'll be doing a session with Yvonne in December...
