[Wagner, Richard. (1813–1883)] Richter, Hans. (1843–1916)

Autograph Musical Quotations

Autograph musical quotation from the legendary Austrian-Hungarian conductor who conducted the very first Bayreuth Festival, and in 1877 shared the conductorship of the Wagner festival in London with the composer. Richter has penned two short Wagnerian themes: at the left the march theme from Die Meistersinger, and at the right the "Ride of the Valkyries" theme from Die Walküre. He has signed boldly between the two quotations and dated Edinburgh, October 21, 1896. Trimmed from a small album leaf to 5 x 1.5 inches (12.8 x 4.2 cm). In very fine condition. (16580)
