INSCRIBED BY DARIUS MILHAUD TO PHILIPPE ENTREMONT

MILHAUD, Darius. Fantaisie pastorale pour piano et orchestre. Paris: R. Deiss, (1939). Folio, original printed blue paper wrappers; pp. 22. $1500.

First edition, two-piano reduction, inscribed by Milhaud to piano virtuoso Philippe Entremont: “à Philippe Entremont, excellent interprete de la [printed title], Jouée pour mes 60 ans (helas!) Milhaud 1952.”

Milhaud's bold inscription surrounds and incorporates the printed title, and translates: "To Philippe Entremont, excellent interpreter of [the Fantaisie Pastorale], played for my 60th (alas!) birthday – Milhaud, 1952." The pencil performance markings in the text are probably in the hand of Entremont (b. 1934), one of the finest performers of French piano music. Winning the Long-Thibaud International Competition in 1951, he toured Europe for two years, and America in 1953. Today he is well known as a conductor.

Original wrappers with expert restoration.
