10889Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Autograph letter 1 page to Michael Haberlandt. Vienna 15 September 1897. The letter reports that Wolf has yesterday afternoon completed the monologue to Manuel despite the disturbance of numerous visits and reads in part: "Gestern Nachmittag den ganzen Monolog des Manuel in einem Zuge aufgeschrieben trotz vielfacher Storungen durch Besuche. Rufe fur den nachsten Sontag Nachmittag alle Getreuen unter die Fahne. Ich werde aus der neuen Oper vorspielen." 14 x 9 cm and in fine condition. Sold together with a vintage postcard photograph of the composer. <br><br><br />The Austrian folklorist and Indologist Michael Haberlandt 1860 - 1940 was an important supporter of Hugo Wolf and was one of the founders of the Hugo Wolf Society. <br><br><br />The Austrian composer died tragically young of syphilis while committed to an asylum for the insane and autograph material is uncommon. At the end of July 1897 Wolf had begun feverishly working on his opera "Manuel Venegas" and "despite interruptions the opera's opening began to take shape as Wolf's swings from manic gaiety to irascibility became more pronounced. In mid-September his boast that he had been appointed director of the Vienna Court Opera and had sacked the current director Gustav Mahler signaled the onset of madness. Inviting his friends to hear his new opera and congratulate him on September 20 he played through the 50 completed pages of vocal score blissful raving and wholly insane as his friends clustered around him in stunned misery -- a scene famously adapted by Thomas Mann in his novel Doktor Faustus 1947. Wolf's polished fragment introduces characters and motifs without reaching the great dramatic moments that had tempted him though the opening Spring Chorus is one of the freshest most evocative and inspired in his entire oeuvre."

253123 pp. of a bifolium. 8vo 175 x 110 mm. Dated Döbling now part of Vienna November 4 1892. In black ink. In German with translation. <br/><br/>Wolf asks Sternfeld who is not named in the letter but may be identified by circumstantial evidence about the "popular concerts" series in Berlin which Sternfeld had suggested as a venue for showcasing Wolf's music. He doubts whether the setting of these concerts was suited to the purpose:<br/><br/>"Would you please most esteemed Sir be so kind as to reveal to me the character of the so-called popular concerts in Berlin. Are your popular concerts such at which the audience is eating drinking and smoking Of course such concerts would prohibit the performance of vocal music and when you proposed a popular concert to me you intended to perform my instrumental works only. In such a case a popular concert would not serve me well because as you know my specialty is vocal music. However should it be otherwise and should the said concerts also include vocal music then I would of course prefer such a popular concert to one at the Singakademie if only to save money. It also would appear that these popular concerts are held in the hall of the Philharmonic which should not be underestimated."<br/><br/>Creased at horizontal fold; short split to lower portion of central fold. "Wolf intensified the expressive vocabulary of the lied by means of extended tonality and post-Wagnerian declamation while retaining the defining elements of the song tradition he had inherited from Schubert and Schumann. Profoundly responsive to poetry he incorporated detailed readings of his chosen poems in the compositional decisions he made about every aspect of song: harmonic nuances tonal form melodic design vocal declamation pianistic texture the relationship of voice to piano etc. Seeking an art 'written with blood' he went below the surface of poetry - even where his musical purposes were inevitably distinct from the poet's - in order to recreate it in music of remarkable intensity written as he once proclaimed for epicures not amateurs." Eric Sams and Susan Youens in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Richard Sternfeld 1858-1924 was a prominent arts administrator in Berlin at the time. A board member of the Wagner-Verein he organized several performances of Wolf's works. <br/><br/>The Berlin concert Wolf was planning at the time finally took place on January 8 1894 - but not as a "popular" concert. Siegfried Ochs director of the Philharmonischer Chor conducted some of Wolf's choral-orchestral works. unknown books
