An Alban Berg Manuscript at Oxford
View through CrossRef
A Year ago in Oxford I met a South African Officer, who told me that he was about to return to Carinthia. I knew that the widow of Alban Berg had a house near Klagenfurt and I asked him to visit her and take her my greetings.Shortly afterwards I received a letter from the officer. He had seen Frau Berg and she was so excited to meet an officer of the Army of Liberation that she had unearthed one of Alban Berg's manuscripts, which she had hidden away, and presented him with it, asking that it should be handed to me to present to the University as a sign of her gratitude.
