Italian composer (1813–1901) who was one of the most influential figures in the history of opera. AMQS on an off-white 8.25 x 5.25 sheet. Verdi pens 10 bars of music and lyrics from the dramatic high point of ‘La Traviata,’ signing at the conclusion, “G. Verdi, London 22 Maggio 1882.” Sheet is affixed to an identical size sheet. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds, a couple through the paraph of Verdi’s signature, a few small repairs, and scattered light toning and soiling.
One of only two secular choral works composed by Verdi, ‘Inno delle Nazioni’ (‘Hymn of the Nations’) was written for the 1862 International Exhibition in London, embodying the event by incorporating the national anthems ‘God Save the King,’ ‘La Marseillaise,’ and ‘Inno di Mameli.’ It marked his first collaboration with Arrigo Boito, who would later go on to write the original libretti of Otello and Falstaff, and premiered at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London on May 24, 1882, just two days after he penned this piece from ‘La Traviata.’ A beautiful piece with a notable date in Verdi’s distinguished career.
