How come I never find anything like this in my filing cabinet?
A Beethoven manuscript found in the bottom of a filing cabinet at the Palmer Theological Seminary in Philadelphia will go on sale on December 1 at Sotheby’s in London. Estimated price: well over £1 million. The 80-page manuscript, never seen by scholars, is a transcription of the composer’s “Grosse Fuge” for piano duet.
Back in 1990, they discovered a Mozart manuscript at the same school. Alas, I’ve turned my own filing cabinets upside down, but the oldest thing I turned up was a copy of the first short story I ever wrote, back in 1970 (or thereabouts): “Kastra Glazz, Hypership Test Pilot.”
Who’ll start the bidding?
