Page 9 Preface Autographs of great men and women often have been treasured, for various reasons. The autograph of Mozart's Requiem is no exception. An autograph of a famous person can be a cherished object, a relic almost in the religious sense, associated with an individual who was admired, loved, indeed worshipped. Such a piece of writing, no matter how short, can be a tangible link to a great person, living or dead. For many people the word "autograph" means a mere signature; collecting autographs is a popular hobby. A more extensive autograph, such as a score in a composer's handwriting, can have even greater emotional significance for the beholder. Brahms once was greatly moved when studying a Schubert autograph. He noted that some grains of sand (used in those days for blotting wet ink) were still adhering to the manuscriptsand that Schubert had sprinkled on it with his own hand!
