MacDowell, Edward. (1860-1908)

Autograph Musical Quotation

A highly desirable scarce autograph musical quote, by the American composer who at the turn of the 20th century was American’s best-known both at home and abroad. Five measures of his "Soubrette" in brown ink on a 2.25 x 6.5 mounted paper. Unsigned, but removed from an album in which it was identified as having been in his hand and consistent with comparable examples of his musical penmanship.


"At the turn of the 20th century [MacDowell] was America's best-known composer both at home and abroad, particularly renowned for his piano concertos and evocative piano miniatures." Grove Online (5600)
