Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
Autograph music manuscript of the song 'Der Sandmann', op.79 no.13, [Dresden, 1849]
In black ink, with one annotation ('Verschiebung') added in red pencil on p.2. For voice and piano, on four and five systems of three (in the last line two) staves, two pages, 303 x 223mm, tipped on guards into a 20th-century vellum-backed binding. Provenance: Clara Schumann, presented by her to: – Dr [Carl] Scharrenbroich (1844-1895: autograph authentication and presentation inscription signed by Clara Schumann on left and lower margin of p.2, Frankfurt-am-Main, May 1893, and a separate autograph letter signed, 29 May 1893, presenting the manuscript); later with Frl. Ch. Kemmerich in Bonn (recorded in the Schumann Briefedition as the owner of the letter).

A song from the Liederalbum für die Jugend, with an inscription by Clara Schumann. The 'sandman' in this poem by Hermann Kletke is the traditional figure who sprinkles 'two little grains of sand' on children's eyes to enable them to sleep. Dr Carl Scharrenbroich, the recipient of the manuscript in 1893, was a medical doctor in Pallanza on Lago Maggiore, where Clara and her daughter Marie had stayed from 5 to 25 April that year.

Complete autograph music manuscripts by Schumann are rare at auction: RBH records only one in the past five years (the song 'Erstes Grün', op.35 no.4, sold at Sotheby's Paris, 22 May 2019, lot 99, EUR 52,500).
