Abstract
Stefan Zweig's collection of music manuscripts, donated to the British Library in 1986, contains autographs by some of the major canonical composers of European history; from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven through to Wagner and Strauss and Schoenberg. A piece by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) in the collection, which does not seem to have been noticed by scholars of the composer, is the focus of this article. The manuscript is catalogued as being a movement from an unknown string quartet, but closer examination has suggested other possibilities.
