Notes |
| |
This very brown
leaf has been unevenly trimmed, with some very minor loss
of the notation: no other examples of Mahler's use of this paper
have yet been firmly identified, although Berthold Over has
suggested (BONW,
41) that it is the same type as that used for the
fair copy of first of the Kindertotenlieder. This is
not implausible, but in the absence of a detailed physical
description of the two papers (and in particular the rastral
dimensions of AV4m) this cannot be
confirmed.
The manuscript is
accompanied by Alma Mahler's autograph presentation message to
the recipients:
|
Das einzige und
erste Manuscript des Liedes ›Ich athmet einen linden
Duft‹ von Gustav Mahler ist am 17. April 1923 von
mir Bernhard und Bella Panzer zu ihrer Vermählung
geschenkt worden. Alma Maria Mahler. |
The only and
earliest manuscript of the song "Ich athmet einen
linden Duft" by Gustav Mahler was given by me on
April 17, 1923 to Bernhard and Bella Panzer on the
occasion of their marriage. Alma Maria Mahler |
|
| |
Dr Bernhard Panzer was
active as a patron of the visual arts and in particular of Anton Hanak (1875–1934),
a sculptor closely involved with the abortive plans
for a Mahler monument in Vienna.¹ |
