ELGAR EDWARD: (1857-1934) English Composer. A.L.S., Edward Elgar, three pages, 8vo, Forli, Malvern, 21st March 1895, to Messrs. Novello & Co. ('Dear Sirs'). Elgar writes to answer his correspondent's enquiry, explaining 'I don't think much is gained in the way of facility to the players in printing the two violin parts together as in the specimen (now returned) (no longer present) If, in setting out the pages, the engraver can leave sufficient 'rest' for turning over it might be a slight advantage to print together: however, the 'turning over' is of vital importance & I suggested 'separate' parts as this is generally so much easier to manage in setting out a single line.' In concluding the composer thanks his publishers for their courtesy in referring these points to him. With a partial received date stamp at the head of the first page, only very slightly affecting the place and date, which remain quite legible. VG
