- Title:
- Richard Wagner: Music for ‘Beim Antritt des neuen Jahr 1835’, allegorical festival play in one act by Wilhelm Schmale (WWV 36): autograph draft of Overture and two choral numbers, nos. 3 and 5
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph. Short (piano) score, and piano vocal score. Written in ink, the Overture on systems of two staves, the vocal numbers on systems of up to five staves. Contents: ff. 1r-2v. Overture; headed (f. 1r) ‘No: 1: Ouverture’. Tempo directions ‘Sostenuto - Allegro assai’ (f. 1r). f. 3r and v. [No. 3], ‘Wir nahen mit frohen Gesängen’; ‘Allegretto’. ff. 4r-5v. [No. 5], ‘Heil! Heil!’; ‘All[egr]o: molto’. The leaves numbered 300 (f. 1, repeated f. 2), 163 (f. 3), 303, 304 (ff. ff. 4,5). Numbers on ff. 1, 4, 5 in ink over pencil.
This manuscript and Zweig MS 102 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.
