PASCAL Claude — AVELINE Claude (Evgen Atsin, dit)... Lot n° 290

"Portrait of the Bird That Doesn't Exist." Melody for voice and piano (Soprano) on a poem by Claude Aveline. Éditions Musicales Durand. August 1980; 30 x 22.5 cm. Claude Aveline sent a magnificent letter to Claude Pascal in August 1981: "In his peregrinations throughout the existing world, the Bird-That-Not-Existing-Not has never hidden from finding a privileged asylum with his original Egg, without which, let's admit it, he would exist even less. There, on the Île aux Moines, he was very happy last year to let himself be trapped (he does everything he can to do so) by a sound charmer, named Claude like Papa and named Pascal like the Lamb, like the Feast, like a professor at the Conservatory. This gave CECI, to the grateful pleasure of the first of its listeners. Claude Aveline." Attached: - A page filled with musical notes (both sides). - A typescript with an autograph signed by Claude Aveline to Claude Pascal (Portrait of the Bird Who Doesn't Exist). - An autograph letter signed by baritone Bruno Laplante to Claude Pascal on the recording of his melodies at Radio-Canada
