Letter sent by Paolo Giorza, composer, conductor and organist, to his friend, Giulio Ricordi, with letterhead 'Sydney International Exhibition, 1879 - Office of the Commission', enclosing a copy of his Exhibition Cantata [not included here]. Most of the letter concerns Giorza's feelings on music in general, with a passionate defence of the superiority of Italian composers over German composers.
