ELGAR EDWARD: (1857-1934) English Composer. Illustrated A.L.S., Edward Elgar, four pages, 8vo, Forli, Malvern, 16th April 1895, to Messrs. Novello & Co. ('Dear Sirs'). Elgar informs his music publishers that he is returning the proofs (no longer present) of two part songs for Ladies voices and requests 'that some footnote goes on the first page of each of them to the effect that the violin accompaniments are procurable separately', further continuing 'It might be as well to print also a note (on the Violin copies) something like the following "If the Chorus is numerous these accompts. may be played by two or more Violins to each part" This might eventually assist the sale of extra Violin copies'. The composer further states 'I have made a note on the proofs of the places where the turn-over for the Violins is not well managed, if possible it would be best to print those parts to lay open [at this point of the letter Elgar has added a simple illustration in his hand of two numbered pages opened to the viewer] so as to avoid the turn'. Elgar also asks that the works be ready in early May so that they can be introduced during the next school term and encloses a list (no longer present) of schools affiliated to the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music examinations 'which gives a useful list for any purposes of special advertisement of this class of music'. With a purple ink received stamp to the head of the first page and a few other ink and blue indelible annotations, not affecting the main body of text or signature. VG
