SCHUMANN, Robert (1810-1856). Autograph music manuscript, sketchleaf for three works for piano.
SCHUMANN, Robert (1810-1856). Autograph music manuscript, sketchleaf for three works for piano. Comprising on the recto 9 bars, marked 'Sostenuto molto', for the Fantasie satyrique nach Henri Herz , here titled ‘Henri Herz. Fragment satyrique’ (McCorkle Anhang F18 ) and a substantial draft, comprising 54 bars, marked ''Moderato', for Op.10 no.5, the Konzert-Etüden nach Capricen von Paganini , and on the verso three passages, comprising 56 bars, the first section marked 'Allegro', for Op.5 no.11 , the Impromptus über ein Thema von Clara Wieck , n.d. [early 1833], on 16-stave paper, 2 pages, oblong folio (267 x 335mm) , (pencil annotations, minor spotting and browning, soiling and wear to right margin, more marked to upper corner, with two tears, 25mm and 55mm), window-mounted, framed and glazed. McCorkle Verkverzeichniss : op.5 source 1e; op.10 source 1c; Anhang F18, Autograph a. Provenance : L. von Vietinghoff-Scheel, Berlin – Gisela von der Goltz-Vietinghoff, Munich – Carl E. Scheel, New York – Alice Tully (1902-1993), New York (as given in McCorkle). This appealing and varied sketchleaf dates from the period of Schumann’s earliest fascination with the then 13-year old child prodigy Clara Wieck, whom he was to marry in 1840. The op.5 Impromptus (dedicated to Clara’s father, Schumann’s piano teacher Friedrich Wieck) and the op.10 Konzert-Etüden were both published in the course of 1833. Clara Wieck in her early years frequently performed the compositions of Henri Herz: the ‘satiric’ title of present fantasy inspired by him is however consistent with Robert Schumann’s generally hostile attitude to the composer.
