KABALEVSKY DMITRY: (1904-1987) Russian Composer. T.L.S., D Kabalevsky, with three lines holograph at the base, one page, 4to, Moscow, 4th August 1968, to Rostislav Modestovich, in Cyrillic. Kabalevsky states in part `In addition to what has already been sent, I enclose the text of the Romain Rolland's letter which you were interested in. In fact, I had already restored female names Selina and Martina in the first redaction of the opera ´, further saying ` As for “the best book”, I could not get any of them, but I asked two authors: Lev Vasilievich Danilevich (“Works of D. B. Kabalevsky”, 1963) and Georgy Konstantinovich Abramovsky (“D. Kabalevsky”, 1963). I asked them to get copies of their books and send them to you through the foreign commission of the Union of Composers. Tomorrow I am flying to the south with my family until 1^st September …´, to a post-scriptum at the base, Kabalevsky adds `I understand that both books I mentioned above are rather old, but the new ones (R. V. Glezer and G. A. Pozhydaev) would probably come out not earlier than in a year. Nonetheless, you can obtain some correct information from these two books´ At the base, the Russian Composer adds in his own hand `I also attach a short semi-biographical background information note which you may find useful´ Paper with watermark. Few very small pinholes. VG
