ELGAR (EDWARD)Series of 20 autograph letters signed ('Edward Elgar', 'Elgar') to Sir Alfred Herbert Brewer (1865-1928), one to Mrs Brewer and one to Charles Brewer, the first recommending Brewer's Emmaus nos. 7 & 8 [of 1901] for the Madresfield Competition ('...if I might be so bold I wd suggest the 3 bars at K (a fifth lower naturally) these would lead into the chorus well...'), the majority concerning the management of the Three Choirs Festival of 1921 and 1922 and mentioning contributions by Bliss and Goosens, ('...the boys are very pleased & it will be a first class thing for the festival... & do away with the remnant of the notion that everything must be a sort of C of E propaganda...'), technical issues (suggesting '...a heavier bass at H'ford on account of the shortness of organ ped there...'), choice of programme ('...I do not want to think the Three Choirs is or are cutting things down....'), making arrangements, and much else, the final letter to Charles Brewer asking him to arrange an audition for Doris Leech, 50 pages, light dust-staining, creased at folds, some small tears, 4to (254 x 202mm.) and smaller, Malvern, The Athenaeum, Brooks's, St James' Place, Perryfield House and elsewhere, 21 November 1901 to 6 November 1931; with two envelopes; autograph letter signed ('Anthony Hope Hawkins') to the Midland Regional Director of the BBC, 6 January [19]31; and further typed letter signed from the BBC to Elgar, 27 October 1931 (24)Footnotes:This correspondence spans some thirty years, but the majority of the letters date from 1921 and 1922 when Elgar and Brewer collaborated on the Three Choirs Festival, an event which began in 1715 and involved the choirs of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester Cathedrals. Born and bred in Gloucester, Sir Albert Herbert Brewer (1865-1928) held the post of organist and master of the choristers of Gloucester Cathedral from 1896 until his death in 1928. He trained under Charles Villiers Stanford and his pupils included Ivor Novello, Ivor Gurney and Herbert Howells. Through his involvement with the festival, Brewer met Elgar and many other important composers and artistic figures and, during his conductorship '...he introduced many new works and showed great enterprise in the drawing up of programmes...' (F.G. Edwards et al, Grove Music online). His own compositions largely comprised church music for organ and choirs which remain in the standard Anglican canon, including cantatas such as Emmaus of 1901, mentioned here by Elgar. Indeed, Brewer talked at length in his memoir Memories of Choirs and Cloisters of the invaluable assistance Elgar gave him with the score - '...a more generous act could not be imagined...' he wrote. Other works comprised The Holy Innocents and lighter pieces such as The Fairy Pipers which was recorded by Clara Butt. He transcribed several of Elgar's works for organ including Prelude and Angels Farewell from The Dream of Gerontius, In the South, Chanson de Matin and The Coronation March. His son Charles Brewer (d.1978) was a BBC producer who was appointed head of the BBC in Paris in 1944, shortly after the Nazi occupation. In 1945 he was in New York as head of the BBC office in North America. These letters derive from the collection of esteemed ceramics expert and writer the late Henry Sandon, who had a particular interest in Elgar and his works. Provenance: Sir Albert Herbert Brewer (1865-1928); Charles Brewer (d.1978); his nephew Cecil Tew Bruton (1912-1997); purchased from the family of the recipient in 2004 by Henry Sandon (1928-2023); thence by descent.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

GOETHE (JOHANN WOLFANG VON)Letter signed ('ergebenst Goethe'), to Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, Professor at the University of Jena, in German, sending him a piece of white celestine from Sicily, commenting on the crystallization of the rough stone which he considers very beautiful, ending by enquiring after his health, docketed 'Kr' at head, one page on a bifolium, watermark with 'IC II No. 6' within floriate border, dust-staining, ink staining, smudges and spotting, staining from wax seal, creased, lower right corner of blank leaf missing, 4to (202 x 164mm.), Weimar, 7 July 1818Footnotes:'EIN STUCK WEISEN COELESTIN AUS SICILIEN': Goethe sends a sample of white celestine crystal to his friend Professor Döbereiner.Our letter is part of a large correspondence between Goethe and his lifelong friend, the chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner (1780-1849), who became professor at the University of Jena in 1810, a position procured for him by Goethe, his patron. Döbereiner is best known for his work on chemical elements and for inventing the first mass produced pneumatic lighter (known as Döbereiner's Lamp). Goethe, who had a particular interest in chemistry, attended his weekly lectures and used his theories of chemical affinities as a basis for his 1809 novella Elective Afinities. In 1816 Goethe wrote a poem in honour of Döbereiner's 36th birthday on 13 December, which was performed at a torchlit procession by his students. They shared a keen interest in geology - through his role as Minister for Mining and Road Construction, a position he held since 1775, Goethe acquired an extensive knowledge of rocks and minerals and by his death had amassed a large and significant collection of around 23,000 specimens.A handwritten label affixed to the accompanying folder states that this letter is in the hand of Friedrich Theodor Kräuter (1790-1856), an employee of the Weimar library, who acted as Goethe's private secretary from 1811. He became his library secretary 1816, whereupon he embarked on the cataloguing of Goethe's extensive private library. Our letter was published in Julius Schiff, Briefwechsel Zwischen Goethe und Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner, Weimar, 1914, p.53, no.59. Provenance: According to an old label in German affixed to the accompanying folder, purchased 6 February 1888 from Antiques Albert Cohn by Jeanette Frankel; given by her to the anonymous writer of the provenance label by 8 January 1923; discovered in the collection of Hedi Stadlen (1916-2004, Austrian Jewish philosopher, political activist and musicologist, daughter of Hans Simon (nephew of Johann Strauss II) and Else Reis); thence by descent to the present owner.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
