To an unnamed recipient who had inquired after the price of Armingaud's lessons in piano accompaniment: "Le prix de mes leçons d'accompagnement est de 20 f. et j'irai volontiers chez la personne dont vous me parlez, si toutefois elle n'habite pas un quartier trop éloigné [...]".

Largely forgotten today, Armingaud was an acclaimed violinist in the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Paris. With his string quartet "Société Armingaud et Jacquard" he popularized Beethoven's chamber music in Paris.

Clipped at the upper border but no loss to text. With traces of former mounting.
