The sale price of the famous composer's letter exceeded by more than four times the starting price of 100.000 euros, announced on Friday the auction house "International Autograph Auction Europe" (International Autograph Auctions Europe), based in Malaga, in southern Spain.

The auction house states that there was great interest in the USA and Asia.

The letter from the Austrian composer to the French publisher Jean-Georges Siebert, written in German, actually all considered lost, the auction house announced. It was later found in the family archive.

Also up for sale was John Lennon's eight-page letter to Eric Clapton from 1971, in which he suggests forming a new "super band". However, the letter was not sold.
