BRAHMS, Johannes (1833-1897). Autograph musical quotation signed ('J. Brahms'), n.p., n.d., an untexted version of the Canon op.113 no.9 'Ans Auge des Liebstes fest' (text by Rückert), notated on two hand-drawn staves, both tenor and bass clefs marked for each stave, on one page, oblong 8vo, backed onto card.
The published version of the canon is for sopranos and altos in B flat, but it is here transposed for tenors and basses in C. The autograph is in the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, but Brahms is known to have written out the canon -- of which he was evidently rather proud -- in at least four other album leaves, ranging in date from 1870 to 1885.
