GOUNOD CHARLES: (1818-1893) French Composer. A.L.S., Ch. Gounod, one page, 8vo, Paris, n.d. [1858], to Mr. Leroy, on the Imperial Opera Theatre printed stationery, in French. Gounod forwards an important announcement to his correspondent, and states `Mademoiselle Artot wanted to tell you that we are ready for the stage performance when you will want.´ With blank integral leaf. VG Gounod most probably refers to the 1858 revived version of his opera Sapho (1851). Désirée Artot (1835-1907) Belgian Soprano. She was engaged in 1858 by Giacomo Meyerbeer for the Paris Opera. Artot was briefly engaged in 1868 to Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, who may have coded her name into very important works such as the First Piano Concerto or the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Ouverture. He claimed that Artot was the only woman he ever loved.
