- Richard Wagner: Symphony in C (WWV 29): piano duet version of part of movement I
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph score. Incomplete, breaking off after 116 bars of the Allegro. Written in ink on systems of four staves. ‘Sinfonia’ at head of f. 1r. Tempo directions ‘Sostenuto e maestoso (f. 1r) - Allegro con brio’ (f. 1v). The last two bars are written in the ‘primo’ part only, and the lower two systems on f. 2v are left blank. Top right of f. 1r has been numbered 46 in pencil, f. 2r 12 in pencil and 1 in ink.
This manuscript and Zweig MS 103 seem, on the evidence of their measurements, ruling, watermark, and the measurements of the sewing holes remaining in Zweig MS 102 and in Zweig MS 103, f. 2, to have once formed part of the same gathering or volume. This appears to be the case despite the absence from Zweig MS 102 of the numbering of the leaves in the hand, using ink over pencil, to be found on Zweig MS 103 and other manuscripts.
