Dated Carlsruhe [now Karlsruhe], Germany, 22 October [?] 1853. Large 8vo, 3pp. Stockhausen thanks his correspondent for his advice on settling in Vienna, mentioning that the correspondent had already promised him "in London" to help him with finding an apartment. He then reports a musical discovery he has recently made: "Eight days ago I sang in Basel, and through Reiter (whom you know, too) I received the great bass aria from Graun's Der Tod Jesu [The death of Jesus] for closer study; I had the parts copied immediately and will sing the aria in the next academy in Mannheim on the 25th. Lachner is ... a classic Kapellmeister, trying to refine the taste of the the audience; he has been very pleased with the find. If Basel does not send the parts, I will sing 'The people that walked in darkness', a very fitting text for Christmas. ... In two days I will travel to Mannheim for Christmas Day and hope to find your answer there; I confess I am very curious." Signed "J. Stockhausen." Some creases and minimal tears. In very good condition overall. Read More...
