Rachmaninoff Manuscript Sale Halted

The sale of an important Rachmaninoff manuscript was halted this week. “The annotated manuscript of his famous Second Symphony was due to be sold at Sotheby’s in London, with an estimated price of £300,000-£500,000. But it was withdrawn just before the sale after Rachmaninov’s estate claimed to be the true owners. It was found in a cellar in Switzerland after being lost for almost a century.”
