An unusual AMQS from the most prominent female composer of her time, one of the first women composers to write in the larger forms and to receive genuine recognition abroad, and the first prominent American woman musician to receive all her training in the United States. Nice AMQS on a large sheet (17 X 20.5 cm), four boldly penned bars of music ("From Concerto in C# minor Op. 45"), inscribed "Mrs. H.H.A. Beach - Boston, June 6th 1899." Some minor toning, overall fine.
