M-H 2/2-1—An autograph manuscript full score
MS full score of the  Symphony in E flat. Composer’s autograph black inked score. The artifact is in  three sections, each containing one of the three movements of the symphony.  These sections consist of unbound folded score paper separated at the movement  divisions. Each section is 33.5cm x 38.5cm x 1cm. A cut-down 21-stave version  of full score paper has been used throughout. No imprint. The first recto is  signed and dated: ‘Oct 29, 1903 GWLMH.’ The score is singularly unmarked.
The first  section, holding the first movement is paginated 1 to 57 with a blank verso and  a blank leaf i.e. 30 leaves (60 pages). Pagination in this and in Section Two  occurs on the recto only in the uneven number sequence. The second section,  holding the second movement is paginated 58 to 88 which has a blank verso i.e.  16 leaves (32 pages). The third section, which holds the third movement, is not  paginated. It consists of 22 leaves (44 pages).
The scoring  indicated is for: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B, bass clarinet in B, 2  bassoons, 4 horns in F, 2 trombones, tenor trombone, bass trombone, bass tuba,  4 timpani, strings.
First movement, Vivace. The first recto contains a pasted over re-notation section covering the  upper half of the page. It is on this that the dating occurs. The first  movement ends at p.57.
Second movement, Largamente. Begins at p.58. At p.66 under the score is written in ink: ‘E che  lo movo peregrin d’amore Punge [? pange], se ode squilla di lontano, Che paia  il giorno pianger che si more.’ The movement ends at p.88. The verso contains a  pencilled sketch for a re-working of part of the second movement, the location  of which is not clear.
Third movement, Allegro con spirito. At the unpaginated p.38 of this section the score peters  out for 9 bars which are blank. It resumes at p.39. The movement ends at p.45.
The inner brown  wrapping paper present around this artifact is inscribed ‘Marshall-Hall:  Symphony in E flat.’ Full score (MS) 2 arr. for piano (printed). The latter  works are not present in the bundle but are in the collection as separate  items. Also present with this artifact are xeroxes of the first movement p.1 to  6.
