Description
Rare manuscript in black ink by G. Lekeu (1870-1894), Belgian composer influenced by his friend Cesar Franck. After Franck's death, he met Vincent d'Indy who introduced him to Octave Maus. He also composed a violin sonata for Eugène Ysaÿe which is considered as his masterpiece. Although Lekeu died at a young age, at a time when his compositional skills were not yet perfected, his music displays a remarkable maturity often with a sense of melancholy.
