Max Bruch (1838-1920)
Autograph letter signed (‘Max Bruch’) to an unnamed recipient (‘Verehrte Frau’), Freiburg im Breisgau, 22 August 1872
In German. 4 pages, 220 x 141mm, bifolium. Provenance: Christie’s, 29 April 1981, lot 220.

On his choral work Odysseus (1873), containing four bars of autograph music. Bruch suggests revisions to the English and German libretti of his Odysseus, particularly the intonation of the Greek names and the titles of some scenes. He asks his recipient to send two scenes, since he is nearly ready to publish the first part of the work. Bruch quotes four bars of the score, with the lines translated into English: ‘Who calls us shadows, who calls the departed?’.
