In continuation of the previous theme .
Along with the diary of Admiral , got two funny document : letters of the famous Russian opera singer Pavel Andreev ( http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Андреев, _Pavel_Zaharovich ) chief conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre Emil Cooper ( http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Купер, _Emil_Albertovich ). In these letters, Andreyev complains impossible , arrogant and conflict behavior Chaliapin, and asks him to find a council , and otherwise - does not vouch for their decent behavior . Somehow it <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Elrick

Of course, it may even!

Interesting - for history.

I'm sure there are collectors.

That's even talking about the price.

Rate the way they like, and watch the reaction.

... whether such documents be someone interesting, and how it is possible to estimate them?

Elrick, documents, of course, are of value - for researchers of Russian Opera and the biography of Chaliapin. But here's the commercial prospect of, I'm afraid, is questionable. Market musical autographs - mostly western. In Russia it is actually not. I am a long time trying to help one of his fellow Ukrainian sell in Russia is extremely important and meaningful conversation Mily Balakirev - to no avail. What to say about Chaliapin. Western market his letters and photos with inscriptions across regularly and are usually relatively inexpensive (we're not talking, of course, the exceptional cases where the addressee or dedicatory letter would Korovin or Rachmaninoff). Accordingly, the secondary material on it will be even cheaper - this is the logic of the market. From my point of view, you great luck, if you can sell the letters for $ 100 each. But Russia is unlikely to sell and for so much, alas.

uriart, I'm sorry, but what is the connection between Pavel Andreev Zakharovich referred to the author's theme, and Zakharov, Pavel Andreyevich?

[uriart]

Homoludens, yes.

Really.

There is no connection then and there.

Just get the pun.

That's what I'm not careful!

However, uriart, nifty pun - purpose you can imagine <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
