Sell Your Paul Dukas Autograph

Here is a Paul Dukas autograph we have sold:

Paul Dukas Autographed Musical Quote Signed from 1916

Scarce Paul Dukas autograph musical quotation of his most popular work, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” 18 measures on double staves, dated May 1916, and inscribed in French. Translated in full: “Dear Sir, Here is the theme of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice which you asked for. I send my warmest wishes / Paul Dukas.” The measures quoted are among the most well-known in all of music: the marching, “sneaking up music,” used in countless films, most notably in Walt Disney’s “Fantasia,” where Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer’s apprentice is horrified to see the broom into which he has conjured life, multiply into an entire army of marching brooms. Measures 8.25″ x 5.25″. The first example of this theme we have ever seen in near fine condition. Sold for $967.

The following are some additional musical quotations we sold:

Cole Porter Autograph Manuscript Quotation Signed — ”Night + day, you are the one!” — Also With Signed Photo by Cole Porter

Lovely lot by American composer Cole Porter. Includes an autograph manuscript quotation signed of ”Night and Day” where Porter draws a stanza in bass clef under which he writes, ”Night + day, you are the one!” Porter also signs a matte photo portrait of himself, ”Sincerely / Cole Porter”. Porter wrote ”Night and Day” for the stage production of the musical ”Gay Divorce” starring Fred Astaire, and it gained widespread popularity with its inclusion in the film version. Some of the most acclaimed musicians in the world have covered the jazz standard, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, U2, Ringo Starr, Etta James, and many more. Lore surrounds Porter’s inspiration for writing the atypically-structured piece, with one legend holding that he was moved by the Islamic prayer ritual in Morocco. Lot includes original envelope, from the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to a Miss Suzanna Lovett. Envelope is postmarked New York, 6 January 1953. Photo measures 2.75” x 3.75” and AMQS measures 3.5” x 2.5”. Discoloration from tape residue to the top of each, else fine condition. Sold for $2,772.
