Spotting throughout, crease in lower right corner, final two pages with large tears and significant losses (nearly entirely lacking).Amalie Joachim, wife of violinist Joseph Joachim until 1884, was one of the leading oratorio and lied singers of the 19th century, and important interpreter of the songs of Robert and Clara Schumann and of her close friend, Johannes Brahms.
