Antonin Dvorak Autographed Letter Signed Stabat Mater & Gypsy Melodies

  

Antonin Dvorák - Signed autograph letter - Stabat Mater & Gypsy Melodies. Signed autograph letter "Dvorák", [Berlin], [1880/1881], to Balduin DÖRFFEL [DÖRFFEL was an employee of the music publisher Simrock], 1 page in-8, in German. Dvorák mentions his Stabat Mater, which Simrock is going to publish, and his Gypsy melodies, for which he asks for progress.

The Stabat Mater (opus 58), in a major key, will help make the author known on the world stage. It is his first sacred work and seems intimately linked to the family tragedy that strikes Dvorák (the deaths of his children). The audience for his work quickly becomes international, with performances in various major cities in Europe and the United States. So you can take opus number 58. Will the work be starting soon?

Are the 'Gypsy Melodies' with Bohemian lyrics not yet finished? Please be so kind to send me some. I received the fee today.
