Leading English composer (1857-1934) and a significant figure among late Romantic European musicians. ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, April 10, 1895. Letter to Novello & Company, in part: “By this post registered, I send you No. 6 of the set of six part songs for Chorus & orchestra completing the set. Mr. Tours kindly took charge of Nos. 1—5 which I left with him when I called at your establishment ten days ago. The collective title—’From the Bavarian Highlands’ is intended to go on each number—there are subsidiary titles also. My idea was that the set should be published together in book form & that they should be also procurable separately. Nos. 1, 3 & 6 will make a very useful suite for orchestras alone or for piano duet or solo.” Elgar adds a short postscript at the conclusion. In very good to fine condition, with some light creasing and a few staple holes touching text but affecting nothing.
