Frederick Delius: Paris (Symphonic Poem, arranged for two pianos by Julius Buths)
- Scope & Content:
-
Manuscript arrangement, in the hand of Julius Buths, made in 1903. Paris was composed 1898-99, and published in 1909 by Leuckart (6320) in a lithographed full score.
Threlfall, VI/14.
In September 1977, Buths's manuscript was modified by Eric Fenby by the application of numerous 'taped-over' passages of varying length (in Fenby's autograph) in accordance with the printed full score, for a performance given on 12 December 1977 at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London (by John Kozar and Francis Routh) - see Fenby's note on f. 19. The two-piano version was made from an earlier draft of the work, which differs from the printed full score (which was at one time bound at the back of the present volume but was removed before the volume was received by the Britrish Library). For the composer's autograph score of the earlier version on which this arrangement by Buths was based, see MS Mus. 1745/2/13/1.
- f. 1. Title-page. The lower portion of the folio has been torn away, leaving only the upper 8 staves, which are stamped twice at top right: 'Property of Sir Thomas Beecham' and 'Delius Trust Archives Acc. No. 1'. The manuscript is entitled: '"Paris" / "Impressions de nuit" / Ein Nachstück für / grosses Orchester / von / Frederick Delius / Für zwei Klaviere übertragen von Julius Buths'.
- f. 1v is blank.
- ff. 2-90. Score.
- f. 90. Beneath the score, a note written by Eric Fenby: 'This arrangement for two pianos by Julius Buths from the early version of "Paris" has been revised in accordance with the printed Full Score by Eric Fenby. September 1977.'
