Rare sheet music were sold at the auction house «Sotheby's» in London. A recently found piano duo by Gabriel Fauré composed supposedly in 1870 cost 20.000 £.
The price of Beethoven’s manuscripts containing some themes and concepts of new compositions, including Octet for wind instruments, op. 103 rose to 163250 £.
The letter written by Farinelli, one of the most famous Italian contralto and soprano castrato singers of the 18th century, was bought for 10625 £. It was his first letter sold by auction.
There are a lot of finest compositions which are unknown to the general public. At this blog you can find my favourite classical sheet music.

“Pieta, Signore!” Alessandro Stradella
At the beginning of the piece “Pieta, Signore!” by Alessandro Stradella, meditative tranquility overtakes slightly people’s hearts. But in a moment dramatic tension starts to rise constantly and it won't stop till the very end of the composition. The beauty of its melody, so woeful like a desperate supplication, affects every listener exciting in him the bowels of mercy and humility of mind. While you are listening to the piece you understand that the best thing you can do now is to curb all the unnecessary vanities in your life and try to make it more conscious and pure.
