Inside manuscript contains two vocal pieces, 38 bars of music and lyrics overall, including a duet for two soprano voices (in 3 two-line systems) and a trio for soprano, alto, and basso voices (in 3 two-line systems). Front cover also bears an ownership signature of Louise von Zedlitz. In fine condition, with some mild toning. A phenomenal musical piece from the highly esteemed Salieri. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
