Photocopy of an autograph letter signed from Adolph Brodsky to Edward Elgar

Scope and Content

This letter is a reminder to Dr. Elgar of what happened at an interview between Brodsky and Elgar at the Grand Hotel, Manchester. Brodsky invites Elgar to become Professor of Instrumentation and Composition at the Royal Manchester College of Music and the same in the Music Faculty at the Victoria University. Both institutions can offer four hundred pounds. Elgar would have time to travel and to compose. The original is dated 5 Apr 1904, and it is unclear when this photocopy was made.
