circa 1980
By Johann Sebastian Bach, 1727. Fragmentary manuscript of a chord from the piece. Given to Rosamund Strode by Imogen Holst, in an envelope labelled 'A thank you (WITH CARE)'. Accompanying note in Imogen Holst's hand, dated 21 Sep 1980, reads 'I've no information about this. It might be a student ex., writing it out by heart in the 1890s when his hand was very painful. Or it may have been pre-1914-war, making a simplified version for his pupils at Morley to play'. [3pp.] Also includes full photocopy of fragment with annotation on bottom in Imogen Holst's hand 'original given to Daughter'.
