Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959)
Autograph manuscript signed ('B. Martinů' on title, first page and at end) of the String Quintet H.164, Polička, 27 September - 5 October 1927
A fair copy in black ink. Title ('Quintett / 2 violons 2 altos et v'cello') and 25 pages, 342 x 270mm, on four systems per page, bar and page numbers added in pencil, 26-stave paper ('B.C. No.9'), stitched in a gathering. Provenance: Sotheby's, 23 November 1977, lot 186.
Complete autograph of Martinů's only string quintet. Although Martinů had been living primarily in Paris since 1923, the quintet was composed (in nine days, according to the composer's own dates) in his Czech hometown of Polička: dedicated to the patron of chamber music Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, it was first performed at the Coolidge Festival in Pittsfield, Mass., in 1928. According to Safranék, it 'contributed greatly to Martinů's fame – in Europe as in America' (Bohuslav Martinů: the Man and his Music, 1946, 130). A second autograph of the work is recorded at Library of Congress (ML29c .M39).
