MANUSCRIT. HAHN (Reynaldo). Musical manuscript, Concerto for violin and orchestra [in D major]. [1928]. In-folio, (1) f. title, (167) ff. mounted on tabs, contemporary purplish half-chagrin, gilt G.B. de Gabriel Bouillon at foot of first board, smooth mute spine, gilt head, blue, black, red and blue grease pencils, on paper. Second known manuscript, partly autograph, of the only Concerto for violin and orchestra composed by Reynaldo Hahn and completed in 1928. Important handwritten orchestral score for the conductor. Excellent provenance: this manuscript was presented to the violin soloist and creator of the concerto, Gabriel Bouillon (1898-1984), with this autograph letter signed by the composer: "Manuscrit offert amicalement à Gabriel Bouillon en souvenir de sa brillante interprétation. Reynaldo Hahn 1928". This manuscript comes directly from the family of Gabriel Bouillon. He was Josephine Baker's brother-in-law, who had married (in her fourth marriage) his brother Jo Bouillon (1908-1984), composer, conductor and violinist. Gabriel Bouillon premiered the work, dedicated to Jules Boucherit, at the Colonne concerts on February 26, 1928, conducted by R. Hahn. The critic Paul Bertrand hailed the event in Le Ménestrel: "This concerto is, indeed, from a purely musical point of view, a miracle of taste and delicacy ()" (March 2, 1928). But only a violin-piano reduction of the concerto was immediately published by Heugel. The manuscript, complete with the entire concerto, consists of autograph sheets by Reynaldo Hahn and others by copyists. It features double page numbering, and reveals elements of the concerto's genesis, with numerous repentirs, corrections and laminated leaves. For example, the entry to the concerto's 1st movement is found in two very different versions (2 laminated sheets). A replacement sheet includes, on the verso, a fragment from Reynaldo Hahn's Ciboulette (act I): "[n'im]porte qui les auraient dites, mais j'suis heureux que ce soit vous" (voice/piano duet). Indications in red and blue pencil testify to the use of this witness as a working manuscript for the work. Another manuscript of the concerto was found in a Caracas library in the 1950s, after Reynaldo Hahn's death, enabling the concerto to be re-created in 1957; violinist Henryk Szeryng subsequently used it to revive the work in 1986 in Atlanta; the work was also performed by Denis Clavier in Metz in 1997. Jacques Depaulis, Reynaldo Hahn, Séguier, 2007, p. 113. Hinges badly damaged, traces of adhesive, traces of glue on a few leaves, a few ink stains.
