Description:
Xeroxed musical score for "The Ant and the Grasshopper." From the French Fable of La Fontaine. English adaptaion by Anne G. Molloy. Robert Schumann. #43. Pages 52-55 of an unknown book of music. Unknown source.
Remark:
The ant has all the longer lines in this rhymed presentation. The grasshopper is left with shorter expressions, more lyrical and often pained. Thus she sings early "A crumb, dame, a crumb, dame!" And her last words are "Have pity, have pity!" repeated several times. Thank you to the thoughtful person who sent me this some years ago!
