About This Item
Oblong folio (345 x 260 mm). [i] (exercises), 2 (waltz), [i] (blank) pp. on a bifolium. Notated in black and red ink on 12-stave paper. In D major, 3/8 time. Dynamics and other verbal instructions (but not title) in red ink. No ascription. Partial watermark of a cross in a circle. Undated. A fair copy.
First page with 4-part modulation exercises somewhat strangely using the French preposition "en" in connection with German note names (En C, En B, etc.). Exercises on staves 1-10 in ink; final two staves in pencil with corrections in red crayon.
Outer leaves somewhat soiled; occasional show-through. A very popular piece from ca. 1800, transmitted in many sources (both manuscript and printed), with variant readings; most sources have doubled note values and a 3/4 time signature. An undated edition by L. Rudolphus, Hamburg-Altona (RISM H5603) ascribes the composition to Himmel; manuscript sources are without ascription.
Himmel was Kapellmeister at the Prussian court in Potsdam from 1795 to his death.
