PUCCINI, Giacomo. Autograph letter signed ('G. Puccini') to 'Signore Amintore', Lucca, n.d., 3 pages, 8vo, on a bifolium.

Puccini's views on a conductor. Asked for his opinion on 'maestro Catalanotti', he describes him as 'un direttore buonissimo e accuratissimo, e pieno di pazienza', and gives a précis of his musical education in France, his abilities as a violinist, and his suitability for the repertoire contemplated, 'as it is mostly French'. He sums up Catalonotti as 'full of education and modesty, he is energetic, sometimes a bit violent ... and full of amour propre.
