OOPS!!!
Didn't mean to mess things up. You COULD do a sequel relating the mystery
of how it got to Japan after WWII, brought there by a Japanese
sailor/musician who escaped from an Australian POW Camp. When hiding out in
the music departments of libraries, he discovers the long lost manuscript,
steals it, takes it to a clarinetist who had befriended him and discovers
that the manuscript is valuable. After the war, he arranges it for
didgeridoo and sells the arrangement to a wealthy Bushman to make enough
money to get him back to Japan. There, he sells it to the Japanese National
Arts Museum for a fortune, retires and is currently residing in a nursing
home in Tokyo. See, now you know where to find the manuscript as well as
the individual who can verify the story of its recent history.
Glad to have helped.
Regards,
Gene N.

Of course, should that manuscript turn up in Japan, that would be the end of
my book which depends entirely on the fact that the autograph of 622 is lost
(and permanently).

Maybe you should immediately book a flight to Japan. Could they have the
long-missing Mozart 622 manuscript?
Have a good flight.

If memory serves me correctly, I donated that copy of the Neruda work to the
ICA library. But there was so much stuff I donated that I may be getting
mixed up.

I would suggest Musikalische Märchen by Franz Neruda (late 19th century
Danish composer). The piece consists of nine rather short movements. It
was originally published by Hansen, but is now out-of-print; however, you
can borrow a copy through the ICA library in Maryland. I've been working on
a new edition of this piece for Rosewood publications; it should be
available early this summer.
