The Stefan Zweig Collection is an important collection of autograph manuscripts formed by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. After his death in 1942 his heirs continued to develop the collection, and donated it to the British Library in 1986. The collection includes many literary and music manuscripts, mainly in the composers' own hands.[1]
Zweig MS 52, f. 1r; Mozart's Fuga from Quartet in D minor (K 173)
The collection contains 206 numbered items: MS 1-131 are musical manuscripts, MS 132-200 and MS 206 are literary or historical manuscripts, and MS 201-205 are printed books and music. Most of the musical manuscripts have been digitised.
The bulk of the collection consists of 131 autograph manuscripts by notable composers; most, but not all, are musical scores.
One particularly prominent item is Mozart's "Verzeichnüß aller meiner Werke" (MS 63),[2] his own handwritten thematic catalogue of his works from 1784 to 1791. As well as many Mozart manuscripts, a range of prominent composers are represented, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Haydn, George Frideric Handel, and Johannes Brahms. Unusual pieces include a piano duet by Friedrich Nietzsche (MS 71).[3]
