Item #27019
AMuQS, 1p, 3½" X 2½", n.p., n.y. [1901]. Very good. Faintly age toned; barely visible mounting trace at corners. Strauss was apparently asked for a snippet from an original composition, for at the center of this heavy card he has affixed a 2¼" X 1" slip bearing three small, neatly penned measures from an unidentified composition -- likely a waltz, as it notes 3/4 time. Below this slip, Strauss signs large and bold. An unusual, most attractive item.
