DORÉ, Ernest (1830–1884), French composer, older brother of Gustave Doré. Signed autograph letter. No place, no date. 1 p. in-8. An amusing letter, partly in Spanish: “Intrepid lover of beauties. The reverend is at my place with his mandolin; if you’re free tonight, come over for a coffee and we’ll strum away until we’re all worn out. Rondena, bolero, fandango, vito [that is, all styles of traditional Spanish music and dance] etc. etc. Your old mozo de la escuadra […].” The cachetero was responsible, during a bullfight, for delivering the coup de grâce to the bull using a small dagger. Enclosed is a letter signed “Doré” dated 1889, regarding a “piece” he is going to work on in order to “play it well.”
