MUSIC - MARKEVITCH Igor (1912 - 1983) - Autograph letter signed Autograph letter signed, dated “15 Mai 69” by the Ukrainian composer and conductor. Markevitch gained important recognition in 1929 when choreographer-impresario Serge Diaghilev discovered him and commissioned a piano concerto from him.
