Manuskript / Papierantiquität
4to. 1 p. With an autograph envelope. Charming letter in French and German to the silent film star Dagmar Godowsky, thanking her for a "pharmaceutical package" and informing her about a conversation with her brother and his imminent departure for Lake Geneva: "Mille merci de votre envoi pharmaceutique votre frère avec lequel j'ai eu eine telephonische conversation reste ici 2, 3 jours et moi qui pars aujourd'hui au Lac de Genève pour 3 jours (afin de décider pour l'été). En toute hâte. Mille meilleures choses à vous, chère amie, küsse die Hand". Above the text, Stravinsky adds in German that he is in sufficient health: "Gesundheit Got [!] sei bedankt ganz gut". - In her memoir, Dagmar Godowsky (1897-1975) named Stravinsky as one of her great lovers. Little is known of the relationship, but the letter bears beautiful testimony to Stravinsky's familiarity with the actress. Her younger brother Leopold Godowsky Jr. was a violinist and chemist who, together with Leopold Mannes, created the first practical colour transparency film, Kodachrome. - Traces of folds. With tears to the folds and minimal browning.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität Erstausgabe
Oblong 4to. 19 pp. Original wrappers. First edition, inscribed "pour Madame René Auberjonois, en grande sympathie, Igor Strawinsky, Morges 17-IX-17". - The present volume constitutes an impressive document of Stravinsky's life during the October Revolution. A composition for his children, this work was penned in 1914/15, shortly after leaving Russia forever and settling down into Swiss exile, all connections to his Russian homeland having been severed by the Great War. The events of the war also meant that Stravinsky was unable to solicit commissions, receive royalties, or even contact his publishers; his collaboration with Djaghilev had more or less ground to a halt, their tour having returned hardly any profit. It was at this time that Stravinsky had to rely upon the generosity of wealthy Swiss patrons such as Madame Auberjonois, who was the first wife of the post-Impressionist Swiss painter René Auberjonois, mother of author Fernand Auberjonois, and later grandmother of the American actor René Murat Auberjonois. Stravinsky had met René Auberjonois in the fall of 1917, during the planning stages of "Histoire du Soldat", and he later became an important acquaintance of Stravinsky's. The present copy must have been presented during the early years of their friendship.
