Letters and postcards from Sir George Grove to Max Friedländer

38 letters and postcards from Grove to Max Friedländer, written between July 1883 (shortly after the opening of the RCM) and June 1891. Written in English – Grove was not fluent in German – they span the years (1884-87) when the recipient was working on a new edition of Schubert’s songs and, in addition to questions and comments on Schubert’s music, Friedländer’s research and his own interests and expertise, they shed some delightful and informative light on life at the RCM.
