| Description |
Folded, folds a little separated. With a postcard reproduction of a picture of a man asleep on a square piano, a cello on the floor behind and saints in the background. He writes to thank Tietjens for her "photogram", is looking forward to a performance of Fidelio that evening for which he has procured tickets for some of his students: he admires her performance greatly and writes "I wish you could see your own expression of defiance, fury & triumph, when you are following Pizarro with the pistol at his head". He refers to correspondence in the Scotsman, and wonders whether the conductor Enrico Bevignani (1841-1903) received the overture. Oakeley was appointed to the Reid Chair of Music at Edinburgh University in 1865 and founded the Edinburgh University Musical Society in the same year. |
