ALS in German, signed “J. B.,” one page, 5.5 x 3.5, no date, but postmarked “Vienna, December 29, 1889.” Interesting letter to his publisher Fritz Simrock, mentioning several works. In full, “Who actually has the score for Opus 110? You haven’t sent it back to me, although I had asked you for it; I promised only voices to Spengel and Wüllner. Could you make a presentation copy of the ‘Fest -und- Gedensprüche’ for the Mayor? Of course you haven’t seen my [certificate of Honorary Citizenship], so no sample! Of course only Opus 109. However, I would not like for this one to appear alone, Opus 110 has to be there as well.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning, and a pencil notation to top right. Opus 109, the ‘Fest-und Gedenkspruche,’ three motets for double choir, were written in 1889 for the opening of the Hamburg Industrial Exhibition and dedicated to Dr. Carl Petersen, Mayor of Hamburg, Brahms’ native city. Opus 110, consisting of three additonal motets for choir, was also composed in 1889 and appeared in 1890.Wüllner and Spengel’s 1882 ‘Treatise on Choral Singing’ is still in print.
