“Le roi d’Ys [Act 1, Scene 2],” 2 voices and piano, 12 pages, circa 1875
Scope and Contents
The main character’s name is spelled “Margarid” throughout this manuscript, as was the case in the early, unstaged version of the work composed in the mid-1870s. This manuscript thus likely dates from that period, before the spelling was changed to “Margared” seen in the definitive edition of the score published by Hartmann in Paris in 1888.
