Austrian composer (1860-1903), particularly noted for his art songs, or Lieder. Though he had several bursts of extraordinary productivity, particularly in 1888 and 1889, depression frequently interrupted his creative periods, and his last composition was written in 1898, before he died of syphilis. ALS in German, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, April 22, 1890. Letter to Dr. Wilhelm Dlauhy in Vienna, brother-in-law of his friend and benefactor Heinrich Köchert. In part (translated): “I can hardly grasp the emotion I feel when collating your copies. I keep thinking of the pious monks of old, copying the Holy Books in the sweat of their brow […] If anything might serve me as proof that you believe in my art, it is the truly touching care and anxiousness of your work. Nothing, nothing at all, has escaped your fine instinct, and how many errors of negligence have I not had opportunity to correct in the originals, following your pointers! I am urged to repeat my thanks for your selfless and assiduous courtesy.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold and some scattered light foxing. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Wolf was supported by a large circle of friends; in Vienna, his principal benefactors were the Lang, Köchert, and Werner families.
