Berg, Alban. (1885 - 1935). Autograph Musical Quotation from "Lyric Suite". Boldly penned AMQS from the important Austrian composer. Two intricate measures being bars 58 and 59 (the second episode) of the second movement (Andante amoroso) of the Lyric Suite for String Quartet, signed in full "Alban Berg" and dated Nov. 1932 on a white card measuring 8 x 5.5 cm.

The Lyric Suite is a six-movement work for string quartet composed between 1925 and 1926 using methods derived from Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique. Dedicated to Alexander von Zemlinsky (from whose Lyric Symphony it quotes), the work has been shown to possess a "secret dedication" and to outline a "secret programme". Theodor W. Adorno called the quartet "a latent opera" (Sandberger 1996).
