Details
DELIUS, Frederick (1862-1934)
Autograph musical quotation signed ('Frederick Delius') from an unknown work, May 1919.
Four bars on a single stave, on an album leaf, 110 x 180mm. Provenance: Sotheby's, 7 December 2004, lot 44.
A quotation from an unknown work, perhaps for violin. Delius quotations are rare at auction: ABPC/RBH record only three others, the most recent in 2009. At least one other contained, like this one, music which cannot be traced in Delius's published works, perhaps suggesting that it was composed expressly for the recipient.
