- Title:
- Frederick Delius: A Dance Rhapsody (No. 2)
- Scope & Content:
-
Autograph full score (ink and ink over pencil).
Threlfall, VI/22. Publication: 1923, Augener Ltd. (full score 16045). Performance: 20 October 1923, London, Queen's Hall, Sir Henry J. Wood. For sketch material and a draft score, see MS Mus. 1745/2/8.
- f. 1. Additional sheet used as a cover for the score, with the title 'Delius mss' (pencil) on the recto; the verso has ten staves ruled off for woodwind but the staves are blank.
- f. 2. Title-page and dedication, autograph: 'For Norman O'Neill / A Dance Rhapsody / (No. 2) / Frederick Delius / Spring 1916 / Grez-sur-Loing / (S & M)'. At the bottom of the page, instructions in pencil to the publisher (Augener Ltd.): 'Engrave full score & parts as usual'. At top left, in red ink: 'A.1486'.
- ff. 2v and 3recto are blank.
- ff. 3v-26. Full score, with occasional phrase marks and dynamics in pencil by the composer.
- f. 3v. An additional title at the head of the page, and a copyright note at the bottom ('Copyright 1923 by Augener Ltd'), both in red ink and in another hand, indicate that this was the manuscript supplied to the publisher. The same hand has also writen (blue ink) the composer's name at the top of the page and the plate number (16045) at the bottom.
- Delius has made two additions to the score, both characterised by the use of a darker ink. At the top of f. 17v, a large letter 'V' with the number '30' (both in green pencil) indicates that composer's p. 30 facing (f. 18, scored in darker ink, with f. 18v blank) is to be inserted before the last bar of f. 17v. Secondly, the final two bars of the work (f. 26) are also scored in the same darker ink, with some erasure and revision to the final bar of f. 245.
- f. 267has pencil sketches on recto and verso that are not in Delius's hand but may be in the hand of Bernard van Dieren.
