Libretto only. Autograph manuscript written in pencil at the Hotel Chelsea in NY c. 1950 in a student exercise book (7 x 9 inches) with corrections throughout. (ii), 34, (i)pp. The mss is accompanied by 2 letters concerning plans for possible performances at the Metropolitan Opera Association of New York and Ohio University. Wald (1889-1954), went to study with Vincent d'Indy in 1922, returning to become chairman of the Theory Department of the Chicago Musical College in 1936. Wald is credited by Reiss in Composers of America with only 2 works for the stage, the operas Mirandolina and Gay Little World so Provincinal Episode would appear to be a a hitherto unknown work.
