"In Memoriam / Arturo Toscanini / 1867–1957 / The death of the beloved Maestro within a few months of his ninetieth birthday brings a host of memories to all musical people.  For those of the younger generation it might be said of him as Boïto said of Verdi, "We had all basked in the sun of his Olympian old age."  For those somewhat older, the memories will begin in a flag-draped Carnegie Hall when, on January 14, 1926, he returned to America at the invitation of the Philharmonic Society to begin an association that endured for the ten most active years of his career.  During later years he appeared on several special occasions, the last being at a Pension Fund Concert in January 1945 when he repeated the program of Haydn, Respighi, Sibelius, Weber and Wagner that introduced him twenty years before.  Few musicians at any time have been granted so long, so prominent, so productive a career as his.  The Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra is proud to have played a part in the fulfillment of some of his aspirations, and, through its personnel, to have shared the riches of this great spirit with its audience. / The 'Funeral March' from Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony will be performed in memory of Arturo Toscanini at the beginning of this program. / On the program of Sunday, January 20, the 'Funeral March' will replace the Vivaldi Concerto."

Some notes regarding the details of Toscanini's death have been written in pencil to verso.  In very fine condition.  Insert measures 7.25 x 4.5 inches (18.4 x 11.4 cm.).
