Small 4to. Two volumes in one. 80 + 43 pp. Inscribed to ffe opposite the title from Wieland Wagner, "To Dimitri Mitropoulos / With respect and admiration / from Wieland" and with an autograph letter laid in: "Dear Mr. Mitropoulos! When I read the the [sic] Beethovens Skizzenbuch and came across the chapter dealing with the evolution of the 'Eroica' themes my first thought was - you must have this book! Looking forward to seeing you soon / Wieland." Nicely bound in full red cloth, title in gilt to spine and the conductor's initials "D.M." in gilt to lower right cover corner. Very fine.

A most interesting association copy inscribed by the important German impresario and stage director of the Bayreuth Festival during the immediate post World War era, grandson of composer Richard Wagner.

Nottebohm, (1817-1882), studied from 1838-39 with Ludwig Berger and Siegfried Dehn in Berlin, from 1840 with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, and Moritz Hauptmann in Leipzig, among others, and settled in Vienna in 1845. There he completed his studies as a composition student of Simon Sechter and worked as a freelance music teacher. Nottebohm was a member of the board of directors in 1858/59 and archivist in 1864/65 of the Vienna Society of Friends of Music. He was friends with Brahms, Schumann, and Robert Volkmann, and became known primarily as a Beethoven and Mozart scholar (including Beethoveniana, 1872; works on Beethoven's sketchbooks; Mozartiana, 1880), and contributed to the complete editions of the works of both composers published in Leipzig.

Dimitri Mitropoulos was Greece’s most prolific conductor and New York Philharmonic Music Director from 1949-1958.  Widely regarded as one of the most significant conductors of the twentieth century, he is best remembered for his significant recorded legacy and for his commitment in bringing new compositions to the stage of major symphony orchestras.  Indeed, it is thanks to his efforts that many of our current symphonic standards made their way into the repertory.  He gave World and American premiers of seminal works such as Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 and Schoenberg’s Erwartung, as well as other major works by Schoenberg, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and many others.  His personal collection has been held in private hands since his death in 1960, when it passed to conductor James Dixon, his student and protégé.  Mitropoulos came to consider Dixon his son, introducing him to conductors and performing arts institutions around the world, jumpstarting his career.  When Mitropoulos died in 1960 he left all his belongings, including his scores, to Dixon.  The bulk of the musical library has been subsequently gifted to the University of Iowa’s music library, but a selection of rare items have been selected to be offered for sale exclusively by Schubertiade Music & Arts.
