Note 18 — LATER LETTERS OF CHARLES GOUNOD 1870-1871 [18]
W. Hely Hutchinson translation
With the exception of the fifth and eighth, which are addressed to Edouard Dubufe, these letters were written to Monsieur and Madame Pigny. The reader is doubtless aware that Pigny the architect, Dubufe the painter, and Gounod, married three daughters of Zimmerman the musical composer.
