Description

Pfitzner, Hans, composer and conductor (1869-1949). Mixed lot of ==References== Letters, 1 stitch. Postcard and 1 eigh. Postcard m. U. "Hans Pfitzner" or "D Hans PfitzNER". 4 pp. gr. 4to, cross-gr. 8vo and cross 8vo. Berlin, Munich and Vienna 1904-1944. The personal postcard (Berlin 1904) is addressed to Carl Horwitz in Charlottenburg. "... Your letter, as well as that of your friend, is completely incomprehensible to me; I assume that you feel the need to communicate orally to me the true reasons for your sudden decision, since you have already so far been in contact with me. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to get some clarification because Mrs. You. Mahler was so kind to recommend you to me ...". - Probably it is the Viennese Adler- und Schönberg student Horwitz (1884-1925), who later appeared as a conductor and composer. - The other documents in the world war are to Hans von Besele, professor at the Hochschule für Musik in Stuttgart. The first letter with envelope: "... Fr. Domberger can of course sing to me ... Why don't you write me how you find her and what quality of singer she is?" [Munich 25.II.1941]. Map: Thanks Besele for a letter with accompanying concert program: "... That the piano pieces stand on it is very nice, but they carry the opus number 47, not 45. I attach great importance to ascertaining this" [Munich 1.VII.1942]. - The letter from Vienna [7.III.1944]: "I am quite late to reply to your letter of the 29th century. ==References== You may think that the time since receiving it was filled with all kinds of important activities. In the meantime, the question of my accommodation has become so clear that I intend to move into my new house in Rodaun near Vienna this month ... I have heard of the latest, apparently very strong attack on Stuttgart and I ask you to inform me as soon as possible whether you have suffered from it ... The news of terror gradually becomes a habit and one is satisfied if one has only the most important information about his friends and acquaintances ...". - The letter on browned war paper. - Included a printed thank-you card (also printed) to the congratulations to Pfitzner's 75. Birthday.
