Deine Liebe iste mein ganzen Leben" for voice and piano. Autograph musical manuscript signed

  • SIGNED
  • 1958
By MATTES, Willy 1916-2002
1958. Folio. [1] (autograph title), [2]-[4] pp. Notated in blue ink in on 12-stave music paper. With occasional autograph corrections.

Handstamps of "Cine Italia Film S.p.A. Consiglieri Delegati" to title.

Creased at folds and slightly overall; outer margins creased; several small tears repaired with archival tape. Mattes, an Austrian composer, arranger, and conductor, is particularly noted as a composer of over 80 scores for films produced from 1937 to 1981; he also wrote numerous popular songs. He studied with Felix Weingartner in Vienna where he graduated from the Music Academy in 1937.

The present song, in all likelihood for an unidentified film, was a great success and has been recorded by a number of artists including Fritz Wunderlich.

We would like to thank Markus Brandes for his kind assistance in the identification of this manuscript.
