Several of his works were built from the folk songs of his native Norway. ALS, 1p, large 4to, Norway, Oct 10, 1898. "The essay on Mozart you mentioned was written for the Century Magazine (November 1897) and published in Samtiden without authorization. It wasn't possible to consent to this as I had sold the rights to the American magazine. If you want to risk it, like Samtiden I have no objection and I certainly cannot take any responsibility for it..." Boldly penned and signed. Fine. Est: $1200-1400
