81 2442 Music Mompou Frederico 1893 1987 
= Interesting series of letters, showing the warm friendship between the two men, both of a personal and a musical nature. The letters also show that despite his reclusivess, the composer Mompou found a succesful way to disseminate his works through a network of fellow musicians and composers (in Holland Hans Philips, Alexander Voormolen and Wouter Paap). Hans Philips was an art historian and musicologist who played the harpsichord on a professional level. Apart from repeatedly expressing the joy that Mompou and his wife (the pianist Carmen Bravo) find in their friendship, Mompou writes frequently about meeting up whenever he is in Paris or London for concerts, and about possible ways and means to have his works performed in Holland. At the suggestion of Mompou, Philips arranges a radio broadcast of his Musica Callada, of which Mompou writes: "C'est une musique defendue de jouer en public puisqu'elle est conçue pour la solitude: "la solitude sonore .." comme disait St Jean de la Croix. Elle peut être donnée aussi à la radio, excellent moyen de porter la musique dans les coins les plus intimes d'un foyer familial." (letter dated Barcelona 28. Avril 1955"). A year later he comes back to this broadcast, writing: "Je vois que les emissions a la radio ont obtenu du succès ce qui est très encourageant pour en combiner d'autres. Le soprano Nan Merriman dont vous me parlez vient de sortir un disque (ANGEL) dans lequel elle chante les trois mélodies du "Combat du rève". In this same letter he also writes about a fit of depression that has kept him from composing new works (letter dated "Barcelona 18 Avril 1956". Several letters and postcards have additions by Mompou's wife, and on the postcard dated "23 Nov. 1957" Mompou almost cursorily announces that he and Carmen got married and are on honeymoon: "Cher ami Hans. Voici une nouvelle: Carmen et moi nous nous sommes mariés et dans notre de voyage de noces nous vous envoyons notre très cher souvenir. Est-il vrai que vous viendrez en Espagne pour quelques concerts? Nous en serions très heureux et esperons vous recevoir dans notre petit appartement (...)". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LVII.

Bach conducted by Hans Philips (on 12 July 1948) and a draft of 2 letters by H. Philips, one in Dutch to "W.N." (probably Willem Noske) and one in English to the conductor David Zinman (both concerning a "reconstruction" made by Philips of a trio sonata by Bach "which for several reasons looked like a rudiment of a concerto grosso (...)").
81 2443 Music Pijper Willem 1894 1947 
- Folded; two perforations in left margin.
= Herman Rutters, a Dutch music journalist. Willem Pijper writes him mentioning two tickets are enclosed for a concert "Zondag 22 a.s. - 8 uu, Geb.v.K. en W., Mariaplaats, Utrecht. Er zullen plaatsen gereserveerd zijn". Pijper conveys that he hopes Rutters feels no obligation to review the concert: "Je weet: mijn verzoek aan jou om te komen luisteren, Zondag, was een particuliere opzet. Wil je over 't concert eventueel schrijven dan is dat voor deze blazers natuurlijk erg plezierig. Doch laat dáárom, bid ik, je besluit niet afhangen". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LVII.
