Interesting letter to the editor of the music journal Gazette du Midi, probably Charles Vincens, thanking him for favorable comments on Ropartz's "work of artistic decentralization" in Nancy and announcing to send him programs of the past concert-seasons: "On me communique un numéro de la Gazette du Midi" où vous voulez bien vous occuper, en termes très flatteurs, de l'œuvre de décentralisation artistique que je poursuis à Nancy. Je me permets de vous envoyer la collection des programmes de nos derniers saisons, pensant que peut-être il vous sera intéressant de les parcourir." - While Charles Vincens brought attention to composers and musicians from the Midi and his native Marseille through his writing, Ropartz, a student of Massenet and Dubois, was a very political and prolific director of the conservatories of Nancy and later Strasbourg and, in his own art, a popularizer of his Breton heritage.
On stationery of the director of the Nancy Conservatory.
