Aufführung der Bruchstücken der Götterdämmerung in Berlin. R. Wagner's Taktstock.\" The stick measuring 37.4 cm long and approx. 1 cm in diameter.  From a Wagner collection in the United Kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the date described on the baton, Wagner was in Berlin to conduct two fund-raising concerts for his Festspielhaus, whose construction at Bayreuth was already well under way, and these concerts included excerpts for Siegfried and Brünnhilde from Götterdämmerung.  Because the writing on the baton has been smudged, it is difficult to confirm the handwriting, but it has been proposed that it may that of Karl Eckert (1820 - 1879), director of the Royal Opera since 1869. Wagner and Eckert had met previously when the composer had visited Vienna, where Eckert was from 1853 - 1860 conductor at the Court Opera.  On the occasion of Wagner's Berlin concerts, Eckert was likely in charge of the local arrangements for singers and orchestra and may have been given the baton after Wagner's performance. Cosima's diary of April 24  records \"great enthusiasm by Berlin thermometers, though the performance was not good and R. greatly exhausted and in consequence out of humor.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWagner himself sometimes used the term \"Bruchstücken\" to refer to the female roles being cast for Bayreuth. Literally meaning \"breast pieces\" in the armorial sense as worn by the Valkyries, the use of the term as written on the present baton refers to the female ('breast') roles in the Ring, namely those excerpts ('pieces') from them which Wagner was using for concert purposes.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093278150815,"sku":"6001","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Wagner_1875_Baton_6001_a.jpg?v=1722187013"},{"product_id":"6056-schubert-franz-1797-1828-1872-portrait-medal","title":"Schubert, Franz.

Fruhauf vividly recalled her first impression of Stravinsky: \"He was a small man with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a propulsive profile. At first his long, ovoid head suggested an Aztec carving; then it became a blanched almond. At the first meeting, Stravinsky's hair was beautifully groomed, I was sure, with a pair of military brushes. He was well turned out in gray flannels, a chocolate-brown cardigan, a dray striped shirt with a white collar, and a brown foulard tie with copper dots.

(1859-1924) Archive of 28 Letters and Signed Music","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine and revealing archive from the American conductor and composer, written late in life, comprising 28 autograph letters and 2 pieces of signed sheet music. In December 1922, Herbert began a correspondence with Marie Duval, an aspiring singer working as a chorus girl in Baltimore.  In the present collection of letters to her, Herbert displays a fatherly, affectionate spirit, and counsels her on such various topics as her voice, her grammar, and future prospects, while also discussing his own successes. The letters, dating from Dec. 13, 1922 to Dec. 21, 1923, generally 1 p. 8vo each, are written on various letterhead, including that of the Lambs Club. Although in the letters Herbert is primarily concerned with helping Duval secure a place in his, or another, show in New York through his own NY agent, Mr. Kraft, he also discusses his work and life at several points. In small part: \"[Dec. 17, 1922]...It's strange that your friend knew my dear old mother.  She was a wonderful woman, fine musician, wrote and spoke four languages, had an education such as no one seems to have now...She was the only living child of my famous grandfather Samuel Lover....Please remember all the various 'points' I gave you for your studies and think of me sometimes!....[Dec. 17, 1922] How do you the 'Indian Dream On' as a song?....Drop me a line when you find time....[Jan. 21, 1923] I'm on deck again O.K! Glad to hear you are improving steadily....I'll find out about 'The Kiss in the Dark'.  In as much as the piece stopped last night (nothing but bad luck -- several principals sick, etc. etc. -- the cause) I don't think there could be any objection to your singing it...[Jan. 25, 1923] Mr. Kraft of Kraft Attractions 1658 Broadway is my manager and he does a good deal of business with singers...I'll see that you get 'The Kiss in the Dark'...before I go to Phil. where I conduct next week at the Stanley...[Feb. 10, 1923] Had wonderful success in Phil. last week! -- beating my best record by $5,000.00!!! How's that?  Kraft could help you with the 'Stanley People'...I'll have to hear you again, and find out if you have improved, before I can advise you....How was the German opera?...[Feb. 27, 1923] I am glad you like 'Tristan' so much.  It's a good sign, for it shows that you are deeply musical...[April 27, 1923] Of course I'll send you 'Yester Thoughts'.  Will you promise to play it?...I'm afraid you'll weaken when it comes to the middle part...[April 30, 1923] Mr. Kraft did try to get you into the 'Dream Girl' now (now running in Atlantic City)....but did not have success.  I have no pull with that firm and nothing to do with planning the piece with that firm...[May 24, 1923] I hope it isn't your 'looks' that make them retain you!  (This sounds extraordinary, but I mean it!) Wish I could drop in there once and see you work...Don't...talk much to the other girls.  Women are such rats! [June 19, 1923] Any day I could see you out here, between the aft. concerts...[July 1, 1923] Spoke to Mr. Kraft.  He thinks you are very charming and wants to introduce you to Mr. Dillingham...I said the nicest things about you...and told him I was sure you would 'make good'...\"  Together with two printed , signed pieces of sheet music, each inscribed to Duval: \"Gypsy Love Song\" and \"Dream On.\"  Finally, there is a TLS by H. S. Kraft to Duval, 1 p. 8vo., New York, Feb. 24, 1924, informing her that she is being considered for a part in Herbert's show.  Ironically, it is unlikely that Duval ever made her debut as part of Herbert's entourage, as the composer died just two months later, on May 26, 1924.  An interesting grouping, deserving of further research and generally in fine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093329662111,"sku":"7581","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Herbert_2C_Victor_archive_7581_a.jpg?v=1722187329"},{"product_id":"7593-strauss-richard-1864-1949-signed-photograph","title":"Strauss, Richard.
