Rachmaninoff Manuscript Found

Lost for 100 years, the manuscript of Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony surfaces. “The first four pages of music have at some stage become detached and are missing, as is a title page – hence, perhaps, the fact that it has remained unidentified for so long. Most of the final page, on which there might have been a date and signature, has also gone astray. But the handwriting, the paper and the manner in which Rachmaninov made corrections – all are as they should be.”
