Music by Tchaikovsky signed in Latin (lower right) watercolour, pencil, gouache, heightened with silver and gold on paper 30 x 19.5cm (11 13/16 x 7 11/16in). 1922 Footnotes: Provenance Collection of Michel Michelet (July 14, 1894 – December 28, 1995), famous Ukrainian-American composer and conductor. Acquired from the above by the present owner. Mikhail Levin, who became known as Michelet, was born in Kiev. He moved to France where he joined the Russian artistic community and became friends with the famous artist Bakst. With the dawn of the sound era in cinema during the 1930s, Michelet established himself as a notable presence in the film industry. As the shadows of World War II began to loom over Europe, he made the pivotal decision to relocate to Hollywood, where he continued to flourish professionally, contributing his talents to both film productions and musical performances.
