Manuscript and Score
A facsimile of the manuscript score is held by the Anna Amalia Bibliothek in Weimar (Mus II a : 98)—thankfully the original survived the catastrophic fire in 2004, though the original orchestral parts did not. Max Friedlaender (1852–1934) produced a heavily edited vocal score of Anna Amalia’s Erwin and Elmire in 1921. A performing edition of the work was published by Furore Verlag in Germany in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words manuscript and, manuscript and/or score:
“This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and wound off with a sermon so destructive of all hope to non-Presbyterians that it took the first prize. This composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.... It may be remarked, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word “beauteous” was over-fondled, and human experience referred to as “life’s page,” was up to the usual average.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The manuscript lay like a dust-rag on his desk, and Eitel found, as he had found before, that the difficulty of art was that it forced a man back on his life, and each time the task was more difficult and distasteful.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“A man who is a politician at forty is a statesman at three score and ten. It is at this age, when he would be too old to be a clerk or a gardener or a police-court magistrate, that he is ripe to govern a country.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
