- Used
?Leipzig, 1860. Oblong folio (approximately 234 x 320 mm). 19 measures. Notated in dark brown ink on 9-stave rastrum-drawn paper on the first page of a bifolium. With several corrections in Liszt's hand and the addition of numbering both above and within the staves referring to additional measures, possibly being directions to a copyist.
Pages 2 and 3 of the bifolium contain a manuscript copy of Felix Mendelssohn's Gondellied, opus 19, number 6, entitled "Venetianisches Gondellied" at the head of the first page
Page 4 is ruled but blank except for a short 1-1/2 measure sketch in pencil in an unknown hand.
Moderate browning; somewhat creased and with some showthrough; small (7 mm) tear to upper edge of first leaf; paperclip stain to upper corner of outer pages; minor remnants of mounting paper to final page.
In quite good condition overall. The inclusion of the Mendelssohn copyist manuscript with the present Liszt autograph is quite interesting; it may, in fact, be in the hand of one of the copyists in Liszt's circle in Leipzig, a question deserving of further research. Liszt made arrangements of six of Mendelssohn's songs in the 1840s.
We would like to thank Drs. Rena Mueller, David Cannata, and Alan Walker for their advice regarding this manuscript.

Description:
2 pp. Quarto. Foss identifies this work as having been composed in 1941 with a performance time of 3 minutes, with copyright held by Ruth Yorek and performance rights being controlled by the composer. The "singers required" are noted as "any number of school children voices and a teacher..." and the instrumentation as "piano 4 hands or piano 2 hands, drum ad. lib. (played by a child)." The program is identified as "a bunch of children making a lot of noise. The teacher convinces them after some struggle to turn their noise into music, into singing." "For all their diverse styles, Foss's works spring from a distinct personality: enthusiastic, curious and receptive to every kind of musical idea. Not coincidentally, these are the same attitudes he instilled in audiences with his performances of the classical repertory and new music. In short, he was one of his era's most communicative and representative composer-performers." Gilbert Chase and David Wright in Grove Music Online. An interesting…
