French artist Hélène Delprat was selected to complete the famous, 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry depicting the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Made of 58 different scenes of embroidery on linen, 230 feet long and 20 inches tall, the Unesco-classified work is widely believed to have been made in England, and thought to be missing the final scene, showing the coronation of William the Conqueror in Westminster Abbey. Now Delprat will have a go at it. [Le Figaro]
And while debate about its authenticity is expected (the piece has some unusual qualities) the Morgan Library “has total confidence” in their conclusion that it's the real deal, said McClellan. For now, at least, the public can listen and enjoy it right here.
“I thought, ‘What’s going on here? What could this be?’” He told the NYT . After sending a copy to a leading Chopin scholar, testing and analyzing the manuscript’s paper, ink, handwriting, and musical style, experts are now saying the piece is “likely” a waltz by Chopin.
When curator Robinson McClellan came across a scrap of music the size of an index card in the library’s memorabilia collection, he froze at the sight of a small notation marked “Valse” or waltz, and the name “Chopin” written across the top. McClellan, who is also a composer, didn’t recognize the music.
Nearly 200 years after it was composed, an unknown waltz thought to be by the Romantic-era composer Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)has been discovered in the Morgan Library & Museum in Manhattan, reports The New York Times.
Well, I had already killed my WAPO subscription when I found out how awful Bezos' new man in charge was. Yesterday I killed my LA Times account due to its billionaire owner. Today I signed up for the Philadelphia Inquirer and restarted my Boston Globe subscription.
