sample page
Budapest, 1980. Oblong, 16 x 11 cm, 12 facs, 6
pp. Beautiful halftone in the original
miniature format. This endearing presentation manuscript was dedicated
to the composer’s
young violin student, Adila Arányi (a niece of the violinist
Joachim) and sent to her as a
postcard, consisting of 12 panels including the postal address. The
work is not a concert
piece in the usual sense, but rather, as indicated on the title page, a
musical
acknowledgement for a cloudless Sunday afternoon, “In memory of 23 Nov.
1902”. Issued for the
centennary of the composer’s birth. Afterword in Hun-Ger-Eng by
László Somfai. Red linen. $20
