Historical Documents
1947 (26 Oct.) typewritten letter signed in pencil "Carl Orff" on letterhead with his address in Gräfelfing in Munich; the letter is written to Herr Decker stating that he is happy for him to produce "die kluge" (wise woman) as soon as possible. He also mentions "Tanz der Spröden" but thinks die Kluge can be performed alone. It is thought that the letter is to Franz Decker who was musical director at Crefeld. One light fold. Photo

Carl Orff (July 10, 1895 – March 29, 1982) was a German composer, best known for his cantata, Carmina Burana (1937). Tanz der Sproden is one of Orff's reworkings of Monteverdi scores which, in 1958, was reissued as part of his Lamenti triptych
