Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
Autograph music manuscript, compositional draft for the conclusion of the concert overture Polonia (WWV 39), [Berlin, c. May-July 1836]
In pen and pencil, short score on 28 and 27 hand-drawn staves, comprising a single extended draft of approximately 206 bars, with a further five fragmentary sketches (perhaps for other works) comprising 49 bars, two pages, 330 x 250mm. Brown leather portfolio. Provenance: presented by Wagner in Paris in 1841 to: – Ernst Benedikt Kietz (1815-1892, artist: his pencilled ownership note in left margin of recto and authentication at foot of verso); Sotheby's, 17 December 1962, lot 783; Antiquariat Hans Schneider, Tutzing, catalogue 316, 1990, no.178.

A substantial fragment of the original draft for this youthful work celebrating Polish nationalism. Wagner recounted that the overture was inspired by an evening spent listening to Polish songs in Leipzig in May 1832: the work was composed in Berlin in May-July 1836, and first performed in Königsberg in the winter of 1836 (at around the time of his marriage to Minna Planer). Wagner took both this draft and the full score to Paris when the couple fled there in 1839 to escape their debts: his gift of this leaf to the artist Ernst Benedikt Kietz may have been in exchange for financial support. An autograph manuscript for a piano arrangement (now part of the Stefan Zweig Collection at the British Library) dates from 1840. Wagner seems to have mislaid the full score manuscript during his Paris years: it was returned to him in 1869 by the conductor Jules Pasdeloup. The Wagner Werkverzeichnis records only one other leaf from this compositional draft, sold at Sotheby's, 12 November 1963, lot 158.
