AMQS on a gray 5.75 x 3.5 sheet, signed "I. J. Paderewski, Febr. Sun. 9th, 1902, New York," with Paderewski adding three bars of music from his opera "Manru, II Act." In fine condition. The American premiere of Manru took place at the Metropolitan Opera House on February 14, 1902, with the three-act opera remaining to this day as the only Polish opera ever presented at the MET. An exceptional musical quotation penned mere days before its historic debut.
