- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: String quartet in D minor (K173), movement IV only
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph score. Written in ink on systems of four staves. No tempo direction. Version comprising 84 bars, shorter than that finally published. Names of the instruments are indicated in ink against the first system (f. 1r) [by J.A. André]. Other later annotations in ink to f. 1r are: heading [in the hand of Maximilian Stadler] ‘Fuga für 2 Violini, Viola e Violoncello.’ with ‘oder Violone’ struck through; below this, on the first (otherwise blank) stave ‘Ist eine etwas veränderte Umschrift, oder vielmehr frühere Schrift der Fuge des 6[.] Quartettes vom [word struck through] 1773. vide No. 68 /: No. 237:/’ [in the hand of J.A. André]; and in top right margin an attestation of Mozart’s autograph [in the hand of G.N. Nissen] with the date 1773 added below [by André]. The various numbers added to f. 1r include ‘N. 45’ [in Nissen’s hand] in ink at top left.
This shorter, and presumably earlier version of the movement remained unpublished until its inclusion in the appendices to the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Neue Ausgabe Sämtliche Werke volume. The identification of the various hands of those who annotated the manuscript after Mozart’s death is taken from the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Neue Ausgabe Sämtliche Werke, Kritischer Bericht.
