Bagatelle for piano, 1956

Component identifier:

File 14

Content Summary:

Includes a typeset photocopy from Four bagatelles. Also contains a photocopy of autograph mansucript with editorial marks by Larry Sitsky. Meale recorded this piece as part of the Anthology of Australian Music on Disc. At the time of the packing of the collection, Meale wrote that he composed this piece when he was about 20 years old (ie c.1952), however other sources give a 1956 date for Four bagatelles, which has also been attributed to this work.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The majority of the records appear to have been created or collected by Richard Meale. The papers were transferred to the Library in six accessions (instalments) throughout 2004, with three transferred directly from Meale. The remaining three were transferred by associates and friends of Meale - two former students and Meale's former agent, Barbara Mobbs. It does not appear that any of these custodians rearranged or added to the records during their period of custodianship. The papers from Barbara Mobbs comprise letters from Patrick White to Meale. They were received at the same time as another collection MS 10106, which also relates to Richard Meale. All six accessions were acquired from Meale in 2004. Further papers were transferred by Amanda Meale in 2010.
