Beschreibung

Oblong-8vo (203 : 136 mm). Affixed to larager cardboard. Beautiful musical quotation dedicated to the later pianist Margarete Klinckerfuß: "Daily practice for the little Gretchen Klinckerfuß" (transl.). The quotation with the indication of a very slow tempo ("Sehr langsam!") consists of an accord and a tone sequence with suggestions for fingering that is supposed to be repeated. - Margarete Klinckerfuß (1877-1959) was the daughter of the pianist Johanna Klinckerfuß (1855-1924), a student of Liszt and pianist to the court of Charles I of Württemberg, and the piano manufacturer Apollo Klinckerfuß. When Grieg dedicated the little etude to her, she had already been a student at the Stuttgart Conservatory for three years, eventually graduating in 1896. Klinckerfuß was prosecuted and institutionalized in the Klink Göppingen for several years during the Nazi dictatorship for criticizing the regime. Her autobiography from 1947 is a valuable document of late 19th and early 20th century music, containing personal memories of important musicians such as Johannes Brahms, Ferruccio Busoni, Edvard Grief, and Hugo Wolf. - On album leaf with woodcut bordure and floral corner decorations.
