(MUSIC.) BURLEIGH, HARRY T. Autograph Letter Signed to a Mr. Meltzer, regarding Negro music. 3 1/2 pages, written on a single leaf of 4to paper, folded to form four 8vo pages. New York, 24 January 1920
Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949), the composer of the famous gospel song "Deep River," and over 100 other songs, writes on his music and that of other "serious" Negro composers. He assures the recipient that there are serious Negro composers who "have not been led away from their folk songs by an easy success in rag-time," an obvious allusion to Scott Joplin.
