Strauss, Richard. (1864–1949)

Pair of Autograph Musical Quotation from "Josephslegende "

A set of two different boldly penned 6-measure autograph musical quotations from the composer's 1914 "Josephslegende"("The Legend of Joseph"), Op. 63. Each signed in full on ruled paper, both mounted at edges to another sheet, both with a single vertical crease, otherwise fine. Together with a vintage postcard photograph of the composer.



Josephs Legende, Opus 63, is an “opera without words” or “ballet-drama” with libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929). This ballet was premiered at Paris’ Opéra to great acclaim in May 14, 1914 less than three months before the outset of War World One. (6494)
