“A legal battle will begin this week to determine who owns an autographed manuscript of Sergei Rachmaninov’s best-loved symphony. The work was found last year after being lost for almost a century. Relatives of the Russian composer will argue that they are entitled to the manuscript of the Second Symphony in E Minor, Op.27, which is worth up to £500,000 and was to have been auctioned by Sotheby’s last month. Sotheby’s, however, is expected to say that it was entitled to sell the manuscript on behalf of a private European collector.”
