Grainger, Percy. (1882–1961). Inscribed Photograph with "The Warriors" AMQS .

Superb large original Frederick Morse portrait of the Australian-born composer and pianist composing at the piano. Signed and inscribed to the head in black ink "To my dear friends Karl + Dorothy Payne in fond fellowship and warm admiration for their true artistry + in happy gratitude for kindest hospitality + cherished memory of delightful association from Percy Grainger Nov. 1942" and adding an autograph musical quotation of four measures from The Warriors.  Signature of the photographer "Morse Photo" lower right. Laid down to rigid backing, silvering mostly along lower edge and corners, diagonal crease lower right, else fine. 10.6 x 13.75 inches (27 x 35 cm). 

The eccentric Grainger had a career spanning three continents (Australia, Europe, and eventually North America). Composed between 1913 and 196, The Warriors: Music to an Imaginary Ballet is an orchestral piece dedicated "For Frederick Delius, in admiration and affection". In addition to the usual orchestral forces, it calls for a very large percussion section, including off-stage brass, led by an assistant conductor, and three pianos.

Dorothy Stolzenbach Payne was a prominent pianist from Cincinnati and later was Professor Emerita of Music Theory and Dean of the School of Music at the University of South Carolina. Graduating from the College of Music of Cincinnati in 1926, Dorothy went on to perform in recitals and become a well-respected teacher in her field. In 1935, she founded the Keyboard Club of Cincinnati, and maintained an active role in the group until her death. Payne was also a member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra alongside her husband, Karl Payne (violinist). The Dorothy Stolzenbach Payne papers at University of Cincinnati library include correspondence with Grainger. 

Frederick Morse was a photographer who lived next door to the Grainger household at 9 Cromwell Place, White Plains, in New York. His wife Tonie Morse became Grainger’s manager in 1925. Grainger initially commissioned him to shoot publicity photographs, but as the two men became more familiar with each other, Frederick took many informal images of Percy and Ella Grainger. He and Grainger also exercised together and engaged in bouts of Graeco-Roman wrestling.
