Description
[MUSIC]. CONOR, Léon. Handwritten musical scores dedicated to Auguste Bosc.
Handwritten musical scores composed in the late 19th century by the French composer, conductor and virtuoso Léon Conor (1833–1911), which he dedicated to his friend and conductor Auguste Bosc (1868–1945).
Contains an 8-page booklet of handwritten scores entitled ‘Tintamarre-Polka for Orchestra and Piano’; and 7 loose sheets of handwritten scores of the same piece.
Léon Conor was particularly renowned as a player of the flageolet and the cornet. He began his career as a musician in the Paris Guard. Taking on a variety of roles (theatre, military bands), he became best known for having conducted, for many years, the orchestra at the Bal Bullier, a famous public ball in the Montparnasse district of Paris.
As a composer, he wrote numerous light pieces, genre pieces and dance music (polkas, mazurkas, quadrilles) typical of the atmosphere of Parisian balls during the Belle Époque.
