An interesting letter addressed to his former student Maurice Emmanuel, in which Théodore Dubois thanks his correspondent for his interest in a speech he is sending him. “You were kind enough, my dear friend, to ask for my little speech. Here it is. You do it great honor…” Maurice Emmanuel, a composer and musicologist, had studied at the Paris Conservatory, notably under Théodore Dubois.
