Strauss had a powerful influence on Tiessen's early works... His
lieder... demonstrate his allegiance to Schoenberg's atonal works
and to the Expressionist movement - he was the first to apply the
term Expressionist to music." Grove online
469. TIPPETT, Sir Michael 1905-1998. Autograph letter
signed and dated June 15, 1956. 1 p. Folio. To Otmar Reisel.
Written from Tidebrook in Wadhurst, Sussex. In both English and
German. With autograph envelope with Tippett's autograph
signature and address to verso. The autograph you want will be at
the bottom of this letter. There is only a sonata for Piano, which
is rather difficult to play. That is, three movements are difficult
and one is easy. The remainder of the letter is in German and
informs his correspondent that the music is avialable from his
German publisher, Schott, in Mainz. Very slightly worn; creased
at folds; envelope slightly worn and soiled. (21006) $375.
Tippett is, no doubt, referring to his Piano Sonata no.1, composed
in 1936-8 and revised in 1942, in this letter. "[Tippett's]
importance lies not only in his revitalizing contribution to the
genres of symphony, concerto, opera, string quartet and sonata,
but also in his awareness - displayed in his writings as well as his
compositional practice - of the complexities of the modern
condition and the artistís role in relation to this." Grove online
