- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph. Written on recto and verso of a single leaf, as follows: f. 1r. Evangelium Johannis 6, vers. 55-58 (text in German from St. John’s Gospel in Luther’s translation), for voice with figured bass accompaniment; [1818]. Bars 1-33 only. Written in ink, on systems of two staves. Headed ‘Evangelium Joh. 6. K.’. Above the heading, on the top stave of the page, are eight cancelled bars of an unidentified piece, written without text in two parts on a single stave. Schubert has written an additional stave freehand at the foot of the page to carry the accompaniment to the last line. The text, an extract from the teaching of Jesus in the synagogue at Capernaum, has introductory words which do not appear in the Gospel. f. 1v. Dance, headed ‘Deutscher von Franz Schubert M[anu] p[ropr]ia in März 818 [line above]’. Written in ink on systems of two staves; ‘Forte= / Piano’ written against the first system. Opens with a single crotchet rather than the three quavers of the published version (see Brown, ‘The Dance-music Manuscripts’, pp. 292ff). Two systems only; the remainder of the page carries a humorous dedication to Ignaz Assmayer, in German and Latin, beginning ‘Hier hast du diesen Deutschen, Mein allerliebster Asma’r’ and signed ‘Francesco Seraphico vulgo Schubert’.
