GILBERT AND SULLIVAN]. SULLIVAN, Sir Arthur Seymour (1842-1900), English Composer . Autograph letter signed ("Arthur Sullivan") to "The Editor of the London Review," "8, Albert Mansions, S.W.", 4 June 1874. 2 pages, 8vo, framed with photograph. Sullivan expresses his regrets that he can do little to aid the professional advancement of a performer: "I have unfortunately, no influence to advance the interests of...others I might wish to help, as I am myself up so very little in the active part of the musical world. I rarely conduct a concert, & only for some special reason." Sullivan had only recently initiated his partnership with William Gilbert and his efforts at this time were directed towards the comic operas that the two men produced. -- GILBERT, Sir William Schwenck (1836-1911), English Playwright . Autograph letter signed ("Wm Gilbert") to A.W. Mackenzie, South Kensington, 12 January 1882. 2 pages, 8vo , framed with photograph. Gilbert addresses a request for permission to perform "The Sorcerer," an 1877 collaboration with Arthur Sullivan. He replies: "The provincial right of "The Sorcerer" belongs to Mr. Doyle Caste, at present." After supplying information on how he could be reached, Gilbert states: "I am afraid that Mr. Caste has left instructions to the effect that no permission can be granted to Amateurs to play any of the operas of which he holds the county right." The impact of Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operas, such as The Pirates of Penzance , was substantial and they enjoy continuing success on the stage. (2)
