Signed, handwritten piano score fragment
21 juillet 1845 | 27.8 x 8.9 cm | one leaf
Signed, handwritten piano score fragment composed by Ignaz Moscheles, dated in English “July 21st. 1845.” Eleven bars of an Etude written in black ink. The back of the fragment, with four musical staves, was entirely crossed out by the composer.
The Czech virtuoso pianist, Moscheles, composed this fragment several months before joining Felix Mendelssohn at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he taught until his death. At the time of writing the score, he worked at the LondonRoyal
Academy of Music and signed his composition in English. The manuscript is close to the second movement of his piano sonatina (Op. 4).
