Responding to Allison's interviews and feature pieces, the letters mostly express thanks to Allison: Sullivan writes in 1953 that \"That damned nice piece made our 5th Anniversary an unforgettable experience,\" while Jack Webb writes about the premiere of \"Dragnet\" in 1952 that \"The space you devoted to our television premiere was certainly appreciated. We hope, in the event that you saw it, it lived up to your expectations.\" Among three letters from Lou Walters is an eloquent two-page missive responding to a piece on Walters' club, the Latin Quarter, and defending his style of entertainment and his clients: \"I cater to all kinds of people - I put on all kinds of shows.

Lou Walters was dead broke and living in Boston when, in 1937, he opened the first Latin Quarter there. It took off, and within a few years there were much bigger branches in Miami Beach and New York. These were a forerunner of the big Las Vegas casino shows today: sexy but not smutty, “classy” but populist in their taste and pricing, excessive in every detail from fabric choices to the size of the meals.

Their initial successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as \"Hound Dog\" (for Elvis Presley) and \"Kansas City\" (for Wilbur Harrison and, later, The Beatles).  Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include \"Young Blood,\" \"Searchin',\" and \"Yakety Yak.\" They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power as in such classics as The Drifters' \"There Goes My Baby\".  They influenced Phil Spector who worked with them on recordings of the Drifters and Ben E. King.  Leiber and Stoller later went into the record business and, focusing on the \"girl group\" sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period.

His book deals with numerous case studies of various artists, writers and thinkers (Wilde, Ibsen, Wagner and Nietzsche to name but a few) but its basic premise is that society and human beings themselves are degenerating, and this degeneration is both reflected in and influenced by art.

Somewhere along the line, he received training in the sculpting arts. Though some of his pieces had been displayed at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, he was little known in 1896 when he began contributing political cartoon sculptures to Leslie’s Weekly Illustrated, which printed them large scale on the front page. His first sculpture, depicting New York Republican boss Thomas Platt, appeared on the cover of the June 18, 1896, issue. Thereafter followed twenty-three cartoon statues, one every week...The New York Mail and Express wrote: “Leslie’s Weekly’s unique and telling statuary groups on its first page have proved a novel and valuable contribution to modern campaigning.” The New York Tribune said, “Perhaps the most novel feature of this year’s caricature has been its expression in sculpture… While many of [Bachmann’s sculptural] arguments have been self-evident, they have doubtless had a considerable influence by their effect of sculptured permanence; as if, after each week’s puzzling argument in the daily papers, some clear voice rose above the clatter and said in a downright way: “But the fact remains!” ...After his stint with Leslie’s Weekly, Bachmann gained a reputation as an architectural sculptor. In 1899 Joseph Pulitzer commissioned him to design allegorical figures representing the seven continents for the Pulitzer building on Park Row. His busts of an American Indian (1902) and of Lincoln (1905) are still widely celebrated.\"(Richard Samuel West, \"Max Bachmann, Political Cartoonist in Clay – 1896,\" on \"Yesterday's Papers\" blog [January 26, 2013])","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093425246367,"sku":"10549","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Bachmann_Evolution_Monkey_Sculpture_10549b.jpg?v=1722187947"},{"product_id":"10687-kubelik-jan-1880-1940-signed-photograph-on-annotated-program","title":"Kubelík, Jan.

Eventually, his works became further romanticized and ad lib in their style.\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eThe Wa-Wan Press was an American music publishing company founded in 1901 by composer Arthur Farwell in Newton Center, Massachusetts.

The Charlots solicited acknowledgements of the opera's importance from leading composers and librettists prior to the performance, and the present collection includes responses to this solicitation from Alfred Bruneau, Gustave Charpentier, Vincent D'Indy, Théodore Dubois, Engelbert Humperdinck, Gabriel Pierné, Giacomo Puccini, Camille Saint-Saëns, and the opera's co-librettist, Ludovic Halévy. Most of the letters are dated November, 1904. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) Bruneau, Alfred (1857-1934). Autograph letter signed in full. 2 pp. Octavo. Undated. In black ink on paper with two partial watermarks. In French (with translation). Creased at folds; minor browning, soiling, and staining; remnants of former mount to verso. In a lengthy, eloquent, and at times chauvinistic panegyric, Bruneau extolls Carmen as an epitome of French musical taste. He goes on to praise the opera's chiaroscuro handling of human emotion and Zola- esque realism, which Bizet was only able to achieve with his own tragic self-sacrifice. The French public, which once decried the taboo love between a bohémienne and a soldier, is now open to \"a universality of subject, to the suffering and amusements of the little people, to the intimacy of the humble, to the modernity of sentiments and of existence.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Carmen will remain one of the works that demonstrate the best of the prized qualities of our race in the future... There, indeed, all is clear, all is frank, all is simple, all is brief, all is strong, all is natural. The score is enlivened by such an intensity of life; it is at the same time so dolorous and happy, so spiritual and passionate, so violent and tender that it seems to justify, alas!, the brusque premature death of our great musician. Bizet wrote it with his blood and his tears and he ripped his heart out to leave it after him, vibrant, beating and singing, in these pages of magnificent realism... Its 1000th performance will be a brilliant victory of progress, of reason, of French genius.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2) Charpentier, Gustave (1860-1956).

Slightly soiled; creased at folds; two minor abrasions to verso of second leaf.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing somewhat anti-Semitic language, D'Indy boldly declares that Bizet's Carmen was initially a failure because it was so unlike the sterile \"Jewish\" opera of the period. \"I consider Carmen as a point of departure for the current evolution of dramatic music in France. After the sterile productions of the Jewish period, which cluttered the French stage from 1830 until after the Franco-Prussian War, the work of Bizet, full of life- blood, vigor, movement, sacrificing the piece of music itself to expression, seemed a novelty without precedent. It was, in effect, a new endeavor, audacious, [and] that is why (quite naturally) it did not obtain any success then... justice was rendered later, when it returned to us consecrated by the acclamations of Brussels and Vienna.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4) Dubois, Théodore (1837-1924).

On stationery with \"Conservatoire National de Musique et de Déclamation \/ Cabinet du Directeur\" printed at head. In French (with translation). Slightly soiled, browned and stained; creased at folds; remnants of adhesive to blank verso of second leaf. In answer to his own rhetorical questions, Dubois proclaims Carmen a masterpiece. \"What can one say about Carmen today that hasn't been said? That it is a masterpiece? The universe has proclaimed it! There is a great melodic abundance, harmonic and rhythmic richness, dramatic feeling, concision and color; all qualities little prized by the current generation. But what does it matter!

In French (with translation). Slightly worn, soiled, and browned; minor loss to upper edge and verso of envelope. Pierné regrets that lack of time prevents him from fully responding to the Charlots' inquiry; indeed, he would have to analyze Bizet's entire oeuvre to fully appreciate the latter's contributions to French music. He nevertheless singles out L'Arlésienne, and especially Carmen, for praise. \"...What can you say about Bizet in a simple letter? In order to conscientiously take part in the study that you are doing on the author of L'Arlésienne, it would be necessary to 'dissect' his whole oeuvre, from the sojourns in Rome, already so personal, to the admirable Carmen, the most musical, the most 'theatrical' work of our radiant French School... \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8) Puccini, Giacomo (1858-1924).

[November, 1904.] In black ink with numerous corrections in the composer's hand. With original autograph envelope postmarked Paris, November [?]15 and 17 [?18], [19]04. In French (with translation).

Envelope lacking small portion of lower panel; some tears, browning, soiling, and staining; light remnants of former mount to verso. Introduction: Saint-Saëns gives the Charlots the tribute they requested; he apologizes for sending them a draft, but did not have time to recopy it. Letter: Saint-Saëns unleashes the full extent of his vitriolic wit upon Camille Du Locle, the director of the Opéra-Comique who oversaw the première of Carmen. He maintains that Du Locle, the \"most capricious director ever,\" mounted Carmen \"with the intention of making it fail.\" Determined to expose a plot which was \"not generally known,\" he claims that \"the bad reception had been prepared, contrary to all good sense, by even those who ought to have had a total interest in seeing [the opera] succeed.\" Du Locle's plan was \"to kill the old repertory by bad performances, to discourage the young school by lack of success, and then, the terrain cleared, to recognize only two composers: Gounod and Verdi.\" (Indeed, Du Locle had provided Verdi with the outline of the Aida plot, and translated into French the texts of Aida, La Forza del Destino, and Simon Boccanegra). Not wishing to be reproached for the work's failure, Du Locle produced Carmen to perfection (\"all was ireproachable\"); but, when asked about the new work, he scornfully uttered: \"It's Cochin-Chinese music--one can't understand any of it!\" The critics, who were \"entirely reactionary at that time,\" followed suit, and denounced the work as indecent and appallingly immoral. Saint-Saëns then recounts his own impressions of the finely executed première, which exemplified a style no longer practiced by younger singers. \"I was finally able to see the third performance. Upon leaving the theater, I hurried to a café to scribble to Bizet, 'I find the work marvelous and I'm telling you so in no uncertain terms!' The marvelous work was marvelously rendered... The music was sung as it was written, in its rhythmic character. Today, the 'traditions' have arrived: singers, for whom song and music are two different things, have destroyed rhythm, which is the soul of this Spanish music... and the public, having adopted the work, is enchanted..., it would be still more enchanted if the true Carmen were restored – the one it didn't want in the past.\" Ephemera \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11) Official Program for the 1,000th performance of Carmen.

Includes information about the première of Bizet's Carmen and its subsequent performances, as well as transcriptions of several of the composers' autograph letters included in this collection. Slightly worn and creased; uniformly browned. The première of Bizet's Carmen, which took place on March 3, 1875, elicited devastating condemnations from both the director of the Opéra-Comique, Camille Du Locle, and its \"respectable,\" bourgeois audiences, as well as the Parisian press. Particularly repugnant were the opera's unabashedly promiscious heroine, and her on stage murder at the final curtain. By 1904, however, Carmen enjoyed world-wide success. Determined to redress old wounds, the brothers André and Jean Charlot mounted the 1000th performance of the work at the Opéra-Comique. The \"Soirée de Gala,\" as it was known, featured the inimitable, even scandalous, Carmen of Emma Calvé, the fiery Don José of Edmond Clement, the grand Escamillo of Hector Dufranne, and the demure Micaëla of Marie Thiéry. To augment the festivities, the Charlots solicited tributes from leading composers and librettists. André Charlot (1882-1956) is remembered for his highly successful musical revues at the Vaudeville Theatre in London, and subsequently, on Broadway. Before 1912, when he moved to London, he honed his managerial skills at various Parisian theatres and music halls, including the Folies-Bergère.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093476397215,"sku":"12144","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Bizet_1000th_Carmen_Archive_12144A.jpg?v=1722188279"},{"product_id":"12152-holocaust-hitler-adolf-1889-1945-graphically-striking-anti-hitler-vanity-fair-cover","title":"[Holocaust] [Hitler, Adolf.
