Toscanini, Arturo. (1867–1957)

AMQS "Iberia."

An unusual autograph musical quotation, signed (“Arturo Toscanini”), in blue ink. 1 page, oblong 11 x 18.5 cm. Dated "Boston 7-1-921," four bars from Debussy's "Iberia," marked "Allegro." Three-hole punches along top margin, not affecting and otherwise fine. Sold together with a vintage 8 x 10 inch glossy photograph.



Toscanini's recordings of "Iberia" and other works by Debussy made with the NBC Orchestra, are regarded as definitive by many listeners. (4297)
