Rare AMQS on an off-white 3 x 4.75 card, Grieg pens two measures from his ‘Violin Sonata No. 1 in F Major, Op. 8,’ signed at the bottom, “Edvard Grieg.” Quote is affixed to an identical size card. Matted and framed with a bronze portrait medal to an overall size of 13.5 x 17; the frame back bears the printed label and red wax seal of noted dealer Charles Hamilton. Faint soiling and fingerprints, otherwise fine condition. Grieg composed this sonata in 1865 when he was just 22, and it is one of three sonatas for violin and piano among his works. A desirable musical quotation dashed off with great panache. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
