MENOTTI GIAN CARLO: (1911-2007) Italian-American Composer. One of the most frequently performed opera composers of the 20th century. Menotti wrote the libretti of all his operas. A good A.M.Q.S., `Gian Carlo´, with amusing inscription to an 8.5 x 10.5 (21,5 x 27 cm) page removed from an autograph album. Menotti has cleanly penned a one bar quote of music, annotating beneath the voice words `Ah! Il destino….´. Menotti adds an amusing inscription, in Italian, stating `Per Marina ritrovata - Gian Carlo perduto!....´ ("For Marina found - Gian Carlo lost!..´). Small overall minor age toning to edges, otherwise VG
Provenance: The present page originates from the personal autograph album of Marina Chaliapin (1912-2009), the daughter of Russian opera singer Feodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), widely regarded as one of the finest bass singers of the 20th century, and his mistress Marina Petsold (1882-1964) who became the singer's second wife in 1927. Chaliapin's daughter was married to Luigi Freddi (1895-1977) the Italian journalist and politician who edited the journal Il Popolo d'Italia and who was also hugely influential in Italian political cinema in the second half of the 1930s and beginning of the 1940s
