- Title:
- Frederick Delius: Violin Sonata No. 3, early draft for the first movement
- Scope & Content:
- One bifolium in Delius’s hand, containing an early version of the first movement of what was to become the third violin sonata (ff. 1-2). Also includes an extra leaf in the hand of Eric Fenby and Jelka Delius with 31 bars deleted (f. 3). Although the sonata was completed in 1930, sketch material is known to date from the 1920s and this, together with evidence from the handwriting, suggests that this manuscript might be earlier still, perhaps around 1918 (information from the description of lot 35 in the Sotheby's, London, sale on 19 July 2022).
