Autograph musical quotation signed, Paris, 1 page, 1892 November 25

 Item — Box: 12, Folder: 29
Scope and Contents

The musical quotation is inscribed to Madame Campbell-Clarke and reads "à Madame Campbell-Clarke avec mes plus respectueux hommages. I. J. Paderewski, Paris, le 25 Nov. 1892." Another faint inscription states that it is taken from "Variations et fugue, op. 19." However, neither of Paderewski's "Variations et fugue" are considered his opus 19 (they are opus 11 and 23 respectively), which is instead his Fantaisie polonaise. The key and meter signatures make opus 23 the most likely source.
