- Franz Schubert: Four German Dances for piano (D 146 no.2, 769 no. 1, and 783 Deutsche nos. 1, 2)
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph. Written in brown ink on systems of two staves. On a single leaf, the dances from D 146 and 769 on the recto, the others on the verso. D 769 no. 1 marked ‘Mit Verschiebung’. Headed ‘Deutsch’, dated 1824, and signed ‘Fr. Schubert M[anu propr]ia’, all at head of recto; signature in lighter brown ink. Pin-holes at upper corners. Later annotations include ‘J. R.’ at upper left corner of verso.
Zweig MS 79 is described in Deutsch as lost, though known through the copy in the Photogramme Archiv, Vienna. Hinterberger catalogue XX is undated, but assigned by Deutsch, Verzeichnis (and by James Coover, Antiquarian Catalogues of Musical Interest (London, 1988), p. 119) to 1937; the precise wording on Zweig’s record card, under the printed heading ‘Erworben’, is ‘Katalog Hinterberger XX (1938)’. Material from Zweig’s collection was also offered for sale in this catalogue; it seems that with this manuscript, as in the case of the Mozart Contredanses (Zweig MS 59) and his Wagner collection (see Zweig MS 99), he was acquiring new items at the same time as a large part of his existing holding was up for sale with the same dealer.
