Description:
This British composer and pianist accompanied many famed musicians of the day -- singers Enrico Caruso, Titta Ruffo, Richard Tauber, John McCormack, Beniamino Gigli and violinists Fritz Kreisler and Mischa Elman -- and as a composer his main claim to fame is the sacred song "Ave Maria." AMuQS, 1p, 5" X 3" (irregular top edge), n.p., 20 November 1958. Very good. On pale blue stock, Kahn writes out three music measures of notes and words, identifying it as "Ave Maria" at top and at bottom writes, "To Mr. C.D. Paramey, with all good / wishes from / Percy B. Kahn / Nov:20th 58." He also initials it in upper right corner. A lovely older age example of the composer's best-known piece.
