85. [Instrumentalists] Spivakovsky, Tossy. (1907–1998).
"Thanks for the sweet music-making in Sibelius" - Autograph Note Signed to the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra

Autograph note from the superlative violinist to the NDR (North German Radio Symphony Orchestra), translated from the German: “To the splendid NDR Symphony with my heartfelt thanks for the sweet music-making in Sibelius – Tossy Spivakovsky 29. X '66" Spivakovsky was famous for his violinistic idiosyncrasies – he famously held the bow above the frog – but left nearly 60 superb recordings covering a wide range of repertoire, including a lithe rendition of the Sibelius concerto with Tanno Hannikainen. He was the first to perform Bartok’s Second Concerto in America (under Rodzinski) and a later performance by him in NY was deemed “first rate” by Bartok himself.  21 x 29 cm.

101. [Conductors] Krauss, Clemens. (1893–1954).
"In keeping with the task assigned to me by the Führer..." - Two Typed Letters Signed

Pair of important TLS from the important Austrian conductor who served as director of the Vienna, Berlin and Munich opera houses.  The first, written to an unspecified recipient and concerning his artistic approach as a music director, was written less than two weeks after the German annexation of Austria and only three days before Krauss would write to Adolph Hitler, requesting that he be allowed to return to his native country and resume control of the Vienna State Opera.  Though a favorite of the Führer's, Krauss's application would be denied indirectly.  22 April 1938; 1 pp. on Bayerische Staatsoper stationary. In full, translated from the German, "My artistic plans and intentions can be briefly summarized as follows: / In keeping with the task assigned to me by the Führer, I am determined to raise the overall artistic level of the Munich State Opera by means of a systemic and constant development process, so that this house can rightfully claim the high rank it has been given, until the new Reichsoper in Munich is completed. / For the time being, I am focused on the maintenance and musical and scenic reorganization of the standard works of opera literature, and until the standard opera repertoire has been completely renewed, I will limit myself to particularly prominent and artistically valuable new performances. / My fundamental artistic tendency in the interpretation of opera works aims to always realize the Gesamtkunstwerk in as perfect a form as possible, i.e. to work out not only the musical, but also the dramatic and pictorial content, so that the synthesis of sound, word, representation and image in the achievable perfection can be brought to bear. / [Signature]."  Light vertical crease, else in fine condition.  7 x 9.25 inches (17.8 x 23.5 cm.).
