One of the most important German opera composers. A very good and scarce A.L.S., `H. Marschner´, one page, 4to, Hannover, 18th April 1838, to a friend, in German. An interesting musical content letter, stating in part `I have worked like an animal, and was truly not able to do more. From now on it will be better…The 2nd and 3rd act together are not that strong like the 1st one is, so that it leads to the normal length of an opera - the finale of the 1st act, dispatching today can be grouped as followed: No: 6 Finale - a) aria with choir, - b) duet - c) terzettino - d) fixed choir - e) march of the dwarfes a. balletmusic. - f) fortune-teller scene - g) sailors choir. - h) final act. All of us are healthy, and we enjoy plenty of mental misery.´ To the verso the addressee, and Marschner´s full name as sender, written in his hand with a red ink stamp, and remnants of former red wax seal. Folded with a very small area of paper loss to the right edge as a result of the letter opening. VG £300-400
