STRAUSS (Richard, 1864-1949, Composer of ‘Der Rosenkavalier’)

Printed Score for Mozart’s Symphony 38 boldly signed on the title page performed by the Weiner Philharmonic Orchestra, printed over 72 pages, annotated in pencil at the bottom of the page with the place and date, together with the original ticket for the performance in the Salzburg Festival, 8vo., Salzburg, 30th July

From 1919 to 1924 he was principal conductor of the Vienna State Opera, and in 1920 he co-founded the Salzburg Festival. In addition to these posts, Strauss was a frequent guest conductor in opera houses and with orchestras internationally. In 1933 Strauss was appointed to two important positions in the musical life of Nazi Germany: head of the Reichsmusikkammer and principal conductor of the Bayreuth Festival. The latter role he accepted after conductor Arturo Toscanini had resigned from the position in protest against the Nazi Party.
