Folder 15: [Lento] from "Prelude No. 13"/ composed by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Scriabin ; arranged by John Huxford. Holograph, [n.d.], [n.d.]

 File — Box 7: Series Series 2, Folder: 15
Collection number: 15
Scope and Contents

Seemingly arranged for harp and piano. However, it does not actually follow the thematic melody of Scriabin's Prelude #13 in G flat Major. It begins with the melody of the fifth measure and then immediately deviates from the original. The first page is written in pen and not in Huxford's handwriting, indicating harp. The verso is handwritten in pencil and is in Huxford's handwriting, seemingly for piano accompaniment. To be determined is the full scope of this "arrangement."
