Musician (1799–1853) who was one of the greatest autograph collectors of world-renowned musicians. ALS in German, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 5.25, August 27. Letter about his autographs, reads, in part (translated): “Underlined passages, paper loss This mailing consists of 3 booklets containing 6 articles on your work ‘about Gluck’ which I want you to have. It shall be up to you whether and in which way you want to compensate me for those booklets. If I were allowed to state my preference, it would perhaps be for autographs from Paris – as I have a particular fondness for things of that sort…Just one more thing that happens to be very close to my heart: Some time ago I had already asked you to obtain for me an exact copy of a particular piece by Gluck (Coro ano Aristeo) that I had given to you on the occasion of your visit to Vienna. That very piece you had—unforgivably – presented to a lady in Frankfurt for her autograph collection. I again am asking you to do me this favor and comply with my request immediately, meaning without delay. Making this exact copy cannot possibly present any difficulties for you, as this piece is only 4 pages long…At any rate, I am imploring you to do everything necessary to obtain that copy which is extremely important to me. About this and everything else that needs to be discussed, particularly the orderly receipt of this shipment, I expect hearing from you in the very near future.” Underlined passages, paper lossto top right corner of first page, repaired tear to second page, and light show-through from writing on reverse, otherwise fine condition.
