Description

Choice 1870 letter to his music publisher on “a changed and expanded finale”

ALS in German, one page, 5.25 x 8.5, December 15, 1870. Letter to his publisher Schott & Co. In full (translated): "Here I send you the addition I promised, i.e. a changed and expanded finale. If you consider it useful you could indicate accordingly on the title page—Second Edition with an Expanded Finale." In fine condition. Wagner had married Cosima in Lucerne on August 25, 1870, and on Christmas morning-exactly ten days after writing this letter-famously presented her with the Siegfried Idyll. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
