Hector BERLIOZ (1803-1869). L.A.S., Brussels March 28, 1855, to Gaetano Belloni; 1page in-8, addressed. He asks him to go "at once to Pasdeloup, to beg him on my behalf very energetically not to perform my Corsaire overture at his concert next Sunday. His orchestra is not strong, I have not yet had this overture performed in France myself, and you will understand that I am not at ease having it heard in this way for the first time"...
