Rare AMQS on an off-white 10 x 6.5 musically lined sheet, signed and inscribed in French in black ink, "F. Liszt, A Madame Henriette Fuchs—affectueusement." Liszt attractively pens seven bars of music, which he identifies above: "Motif de le Legende St. Elisabeth." In fine condition. Completed in 1862, the oratorio The Legend of St. Elizabeth combined devotional and theatrical elements on grand scale, with the work bearing many musical parallels to the dramas of Wagner. An exquisite offering that represents one of Liszt's sacred oratorios, with this example far more elusive than his 1866 masterpiece Christus.
