\u201cThis is indeed a rare find and we may have a treasure in our hands,\u201d Dimitris Karydis, head of classical music at Morley College, said. \u201cThe discovery of this manuscript is significant because the period of its composition is a time when the composer\u2019s musical identity was still in development. It is clearly a working document rather than a finished one, with revisions, crossings-out and rethinking which is visible on the page.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karydis plans to record \u2018Before the Mirror\u2019 next month with his colleague Marianna Suri, the curriculum leader for vocal studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
