[MUSIC] - Giacomo Puccini – The Tuscan Maestro Unfiltered Six Autograph Documents and a Playful Photograph Reveal the Composer’s Humor and Humanity - PUCCINI Giacomo - Lot of 6 autograph documents by the celebrated Italian composer. His early compositions were rooted in the Italian opera tradition of the late 19th century. However, later Puccini successfully developed his work in a personal direction, incorporating some themes from verismo music, a certain taste for exoticism and studying the work of Richard Wagner in both harmonic and orchestral terms and in his use of the leitmotiv technique. The lot consists of two entirely autograph letters signed on illustrated postcard postmarked 1913 and 1916, one autograph note on Hudson Automobile with envelope with autograph lines and signature at the verso and three autograph letters signed on illustrated postcards dated 1913, handwritten and signed by Giovanni Bettolo and signed by Puccini. For a total of 6 pp. On postcard.
