Autograph musical manuscript sketch leaf from an unidentified work possibly a song
186036281Leipzig 1860. Oblong folio approximately 234 x 320 mm. 19 measures. Notated in dark brown ink on 9-stave rastrum-drawn paper on the first page of a bifolium. With several corrections in Liszt's hand and the addition of numbering both above and within the staves referring to additional measures possibly being directions to a copyist. <br/><br/>Pages 2 and 3 of the bifolium contain a manuscript copy of Felix Mendelssohn's Gondellied opus 19 number 6 entitled "Venetianisches Gondellied" at the head of the first page<br/><br/>Page 4 is ruled but blank except for a short 1-1/2 measure sketch in pencil in an unknown hand. <br/><br/>Moderate browning; somewhat creased and with some showthrough; small 7 mm tear to upper edge of first leaf; paperclip stain to upper corner of outer pages; minor remnants of mounting paper to final page. <br/><br/>In quite good condition overall. The Liszt manuscript would appear to be an accompaniment to a song. <br/><br/>The inclusion of the Mendelssohn copyist manuscript with the present Liszt autograph is quite interesting; it may in fact be in the hand of one of the copyists in Liszt's circle in Leipzig although this point will require further research. Liszt made arrangements of six of Mendelssohn's songs in the 1840s.<br/><br/>We would like to thanks Drs. Rena Mueller David Cannata and Alan Walker for their advice regarding this manuscript. unknown books
