WOLF HUGO: (1860-1903) Austrian composer, particularly noted for his Lieder. A good A.L.S., Hugo Wolf, on one side of a plain postcard, Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna, 10th November 1894, to Dr. Burchard, in German. Wolf writes, in full, 'I am very sorry not to be able to help you with your search for chamber music. Since you do not seem to have a choir or an orchestra, you will have to be content with my songs, of which there is a rich selection available to you. The experiment of filling up an entire concert evening with song recitals seems to me neither new nor risky; I have allowed myself this modest luxury with a few singers and, as I can assure you, always with the greatest success. I thank you most sincerely for your kind dissemination of my works'. Hand addressed by Wolf to the verso. A letter of fine content for its references to Wolf's songs. A couple of very light, extremely minor stains, only very slightly affecting the text (which remains completely legible). About VG
