AMQS on a small card: two bars in short score on a hand-drawn staff, treble clef, two flats, 6/8, marked "Langsam" and "fp," with cues for woodwind ("Hol.") and horns ("Hr."), signed "Eugen d'Albert." and dated "21ten Jan. 1890." Dealer's pencil notes to verso, else fine. 5 x 2.75 inches; 13 x 7 cm.
Born in Glasgow, d'Albert studied with Liszt and became one of the great pianists of his time; as a composer he is remembered above all for the opera Tiefland (1903). The woodwind and horn cues show that the quotation is drawn from an orchestral score, though we cannot positively identify the composition.
