Strauss, Richard. (1864–1949)
Autograph Letter to the Director the Bonn Gesangverein
1 page, addressed to Professor Hugo Grüters, Director of the city Gesangverein in Bonn. January, 1909. Strauss regretfully declines a request for scores of some of his lieder: "Wiegenlied and Muttertändelei are actually manuscripts and as such are the private property of my wife," and he has already refused to send the scores to many other singers. An interesting letter, with usual folds and in very fine condition. (286)Autograph Letter Classical Music
