A21. Vincent d'INDY (1851-1931). 3 L.A.S. and an autograph manuscript with musical examples, November-December 1913, to double bassist Ernest WEILLER; 3 1/2 pages in-4 on Schola Cantorum letterhead, 4 pages in-8 (mourning), and 1 oblong page in-4, one envelope. Interesting set relating to Weiller's Méthode de contrebasse. Paris November 20, long letter with 4 musical examples proposing some rectifications, notably about the 4th string and the low counter-cut. He encloses a manuscript with three musical examples of independent double bass parts taken from Haydn's symphony La Poule, the finale of Beethoven's 6th Symphony, and Mendelssohn's Overture to Fingal's Cave. Tamaris December 8. Letter intended to serve as a preface, praising Weiller's method, expressing a reservation on the historical part and the question of low tones. Another letter explains that he has just lost his eldest daughter, and comes back (with a musical example) on the low notes in Bach's work.
