Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
Autograph manuscript signed ('FMB') of the 'Frühlingslied' op.19a no.1 ('In dem Walde, süße Töne') illustrated with a drawing by Wilhelm Hensel, [Berlin, 1830]
A fair copy for voice and piano, untitled, three systems of three staves on two pages, 283 x 213mm, marked 'dolce', autograph note of the poet's name, 'Ulrich v. Lichtenste[in]'; decorated with a pencil drawing of a mythological scene at the head, attributed to Wilhelm Hensel. Provenance: Galerie Bassenge, Berlin, 12 May 1995, lot 3140.

An attractive manuscript illustrated by Mendelssohn's brother-in-law. This is an early version of this appealing song, varying in a number of details from the text published in the Sechs Gesänge, op.19a in 1834: the differences essentially correspond with the autograph amendments visible in the Stichvorlage (Morgan Library, Cary 59). The words are by the 13th-century minnesinger Ulrich von Liechtenstein, with some adaptations by Mendelssohn.

The artist Wilhelm Hensel (1794-1861) had married Mendelssohn's sister, Fanny, on 3 October 1829. The present manuscript may well date from the same period as the manuscript of the song 'Wenn die Abendglocken läuten', also illustrated by Hensel and dated by Mendelssohn at Berlin, 14 January 1830.

[Sold with:] a printed edition of the Sechs Gesänge, op.19a (Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, n.d.).
