- Title:
- Richard Wagner: ‘Das Liebesverbot’. Draft libretto
- Scope & Content:
-
Written in brown ink, with corrections and additions (ff. 1r, 2v, 3r, 6v, 8v, 9r) in red ink. Incomplete, lacking Act I, scene i, and the end of the last scene of Act II. Portions of a number of leaves are torn or cut away. Of these, the following affect the text: lower fore-edge ff. 1, 2, and lower gutter edge corners ff. 9, 10. Those not affecting the text are: lower gutter edge corners ff. 5, 6, and upper gutter edge corners ff. 6, 7. There are later pencil doodling on the name Wagner on f. 3r, and markings in black crayon on ff. 7v, 8r and v. In addition to the paginations and foliations noted below are the numbers 206 (f. 1v), 205 (f. 2v), 204 (f. 3v), 203 (f. 4v), 202 (f. 5v), 212 (f. 6r), 209 (f. 7r), 208 (f. 8r) and 207 (f. 9r) added in ink, apparently in the hand which can with certainty be identified as the same which also appears on Zweig MSS 99, 100, 101, 103, 104, 106, 110, 118, 119, 121, and 125; numbers added to Zweig MSS 102, 112, 120 and 122 may also possibly be in this same hand. It appears to be a numbering of an unordered group of manuscripts, added perhaps by an early owner; its occurrence on other autographs of the period is noted in Wagner Werk-Verzeichnis (pp. 72 etc.), and discussed in Egon Voss, ‘Wagners fragmentarisches Orchesterwerk in e-moll - die früheste der erhaltenen Kompositionen?’, Die Musikforschung, vol. xxiii (1970), pp. 50-54.
