- Title:
- Frederick Delius (Boosey & Hawkes Accessions): Koanga (full score, in the hand of Eric Fenby)
- Scope & Content:
-
In three volumes, the score from which Sir Thomas Beecham conducted, 23 September 1935, London, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. With Beecham's markings in blue pencil throughout. Engraver's annotations are also visible (the score subsequently became the publisher's Stichvorlage).
On the title-page to Act I, Fenby has noted: 'This score was compiled from the parts by Eric Fenby at Grez-sur-Loing in 1928-29'. However, whilst this was Fenby's initial strategy, the autograph score was soon found: 'Fortunately, there was no need for me to continue in this arduous way for more than a fortnight, for Hadley now informed us that, by a stroke of luck, he had unearthed the score. A new score had to be made [for Beecham], so I completed my copy from the original MS.' Fenby, Delius As I Knew Him (1936), p. 96.
