Notes on Othello and Poéme Symphonique

André Caplet (1878-1925) was a French composer and operatic conductor. From 1910 to 1914, he served as the musical director of the Boston Opera Company.

The collection is in French and contains pencil notes on Otello and Poéme Symphonique, along with a critical comment signed by Caplet's wife, Geneviéve André-Caplet, nee Pèrruchon. The Poéme Symphonique notes are written on the Boston Opera Company letterhead.
