Photocopy of an autograph letter signed from Adolph Brodsky to Edvard Grieg

Scope and Content

This photocopy is rather faint and Brodsky's German handwriting is not easy to decipher. This letter which originally enclosed a note from Herr Broadfield, director of the "Gentlemen's Concerts" concerns concert arrangements for Grieg's visit: the chamber [with the violin sonatas] will take place on Wednesday 12 February and the orchestra concert on Thursday 13 February. Grieg will receive 40 guineas and in a postscript Brodsky mentions 42 plus 35 making 77 pounds. Sapelnikoff will be in England in February. Liverpool is not yet definite. The original is dated 20 Dec 1895, and it is unclear when this photocopy was made.
