New York Times Composers' Autograph Manuscripts at the Morgan Museum By ANTHONY TOMMASINI AUTOGRAPH manuscripts by master composers are, naturally, invaluable resources for music scholars and specialists. The manuscript of Chopin's Variations for Piano and Orchestra on the theme "Là ci darem la mano" from Mozart's "Don Giovanni," for example, definitively reveals Chopin's first thoughts about this ambitious early work. But examining the manuscript recently at the Morgan Library and Museum, I was struck more by what it reveals about the character of its 17-year-old composer. And this is something that all music lovers, not just specialists, can glean from seeing the score. <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/arts/music/25tomm.html> Peter A.
