REUCHSEL (Maurice). Letter from the author (L.A.S.), Lyon, June 21, 1906, on L'Express Musical letterhead, 1 p., in-8, with its original envelope addressed to Mr. Jacquot, a luthier in Nancy. An interesting letter from Maurice Reuchsel (1870–1947), musicologist, journalist, and editor-in-chief of *L'Express Musical*, the arts supplement of *L'Express de Lyon*. He encloses a copy of his recently published study on “Music in Lyon.” He asks his correspondent to include a bibliographic review in his newspaper to help promote his work: “I am sending you a copy of my study on ‘Music in Lyon.’... If you would be so kind as to support me by including a few lines in your newspaper’s book review section...” He concludes by expressing his “best regards.” An interesting insight into musical life in Lyon at the beginning of the 20th century and the networks through which music criticism was disseminated, illustrating the relationships between journalists, musicologists, and instrument makers. One in-8 page on printed L’Express Musical letterhead, with the original mailing envelope preserved. Good condition.
