ROSSINI, Gioachino (1792–1868). Autograph score from “Moses and Pharaoh.” No place, no date. 24.5 x 19.8 cm. Ink on music paper. Small paper label pasted in the lower right corner reading “Fragment from Rossini’s autograph score of Moses.” A fragmentary score excerpt from Rossini’s opera “Moses and Pharaoh, or The Crossing of the Red Sea,” that is, the French version of “Mosè in Egitto.” It contains the famous line from Act IV, Scene III, sung by Moses: “Hebrews! Fear not the mighty of the Earth / Follow your friend, your Father, and fear only the wrath of God.” A VERY BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENT, with prophetic lyrics. Adolphe Nourrit played the role of Amenophis at the premiere in March 1827. On the back, attached along the left margin, is an autograph letter signed by Eugène TROUPENAS (1798–1850), the famous music publisher of Rossini’s works, in which he explains that he is offering this score to his correspondent. (October 1846. 1 p. in-8.)
