Item description from seller

- An 8-3/4 inch high by 5-3/4 inch wide "Philharmonische Konzerte" [Probably a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic] program cover. The buff colored cover is illustrated with a woodcut by Stadler depicting 5 torch-topped columns against a black background. Printed at the bottom of this program cover for the 1920/21 season is the following: "Programmbuch / Begrundet von Dr. Robert Hirschfeld / Einfuhrungen von Prof. Dr. Max Graf / Preis 6 Kronen". Boldly signed "F. Weingartner" in pencil by the composer/conductor along the top. The cover is additionally annotated in pencil by a concert-goer below the image. The annotation, as translated from the German, indicates that this April 20, 1921 concert included Beethoven's Pastoral and Wagner's Tannhauser Prelude. Folded horizontally with short tears to the left edge and creases to the corners. This fragile program cover printed on highly acidic paper is darkened, but has since been professionally de-acidified. The Austrian conductor, composer and pianist Paul Felix Weingartner (1863-1942) studied with Wilhelm Mayer [aka W.A. Remy]. Going to Leipzig to study philosophy, he soon devoted himself to music and entered the Conservatory. He was one of Franz Liszt's last students. In 1884, Weingartner became director of the Konigsberg Opera and subsequently was Kappelmeister in Danzig, Hamburg, Manheim and Berlin. He succeeded Gustav Mahler as director of the Vienna Hofoper. The first conductor to record all of Beethoven's symphonies, Weingartner also conducted the premiere of Bizet's Symphony in C. Throughout his career he composed several works, including operas, concertos, orchestral works and 7 symphonies. As an author, he wrote on the subject of music and, influenced by Eastern mysticism and the occult, he published the poetical drama "Golgotha".…
