Autograph musical quotation from the German-Polish pianist, composer, and teacher, together with a cabinet photograph. On a small card, he has penned four measures of a theme from Liszt's Mephisto Waltz no. 1, inscribed to a Miss Auley and signed at the foot. The accompanying cabinet photograph, by Loescher & Petsch of Berlin, shows Scharwenka in a fur-collared coat. Both in very fine condition. AMQS 4 x 2.5 inches (10 x 6.3 cm); photograph 4.25 x 6.5 inches (11 x 16.6 cm).
Liszt's Mephisto Waltz no. 1, a programmatic piece based on an episode from Faust. The waltz was conceived as both an orchestra and a piano work. Three versions, orchestral (S.110/2), piano duet (S.599/2) and piano solo, (S.514), all date more or less from the same period (1859–62). Liszt dedicated the piece to Carl Tausig, his favourite pupil.
