Write down a proposal to sell sheet music publishing rights.
Mozart‘s handwritten letter (pictured) was sold for over 600 million won at a European auction.
On the 6th (local time), Germany’s dpa news agency quoted ‘IAA Europe’, a Spanish auction house specializing in documents, saying, “In the online auction held on this day, a handwritten letter written by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was valued at 440,000 euros (approximately 60,000 euros). “It was sold for 60 million won.”
This letter was known to have been lost for a while, but was later discovered in a family’s archives. Excluding small stains, the writing was in good enough condition to be readable with the naked eye, attracting great attention.
the IAA said, “The letter received great attention not only in Europe but also in the United States and Asia, and the auction price, which originally started at 100,000 euros, soared considerably. A private collector in Europe bought the letter.”
This letter was sent by Mozart to Jean-Georges Sieber, a German-born French publisher, in 1783. A proposal to sell the publishing rights to the scores of three of his works, three piano concertos and six string quartets, was written in German. The IAA said, “The six string quartets are presumed to be ‘Haydn Quartets,’ one of mozart’s representative works,” and added, “this is the first document to mention the quartets among the past records known to date.”
