TOSCANINI ARTURO
The Earliest Toscanini Letter to be Offered at Auction in at Least 50 Years
<p><b>TOSCANINI ARTURO.</b> 1867-1957. Italian symphonic and operatic conductor. ALS. <i>"Arturo Toscanini"</i>. 2pp. 8vo. N.p. N.d. December 1897. In Italian with translation.</p><i>"Illustrious Prof. Antonio Orfi </i><p><i>In my letter from the other day I asked you if you could provide me with the parts of the Scandinavian symphony by Cowen of which I would like to execute two parts in Sunday's concert in Turin. I would need a note from you for the archivist who has this music – Would you be so kind to do this for me Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Turin and I would like to bring with me the parts. I beg you to forgive me for this inconvenience and to accept my deepest thanks and my warmest regards… I thank you for the invitation that you kindly sent to me with your courteous letter but unfortunately I could not take advantage of it – this Saturday I will remain in Turin to start the rehearsal of the concerts."</i> </p><p>Trained as a cellist Toscanini first took up the conductor's baton in 1886 at the age of nineteen during a performance of <i>Aida</i> in Rio de Janeiro when a conflict between the conductor and the orchestra had reached an impasse. Lacking any previous conducting experience Toscanini astounded the musicians and audience by conducting the entire work from memory. Upon his return to Italy Toscanini began his conducting career in earnest soon becoming Italy's and one of the world's most famous conductors. </p><p>Our letter refers to Toscanini's preparations for a concert in Turin that included the two middle movements of British composer <b>Frederick Hymen Cowen's</b> 1852-1935<i>Scandinavian Symphony</i>. Premiered in England in 1880 it soared in popularity over the next decade earning the composer international recognition. Toscanini is known to have conducted the work twice once on Sunday December 12 1897 and again on Thursday September 8 1898. According to Toscanini biographer Harvey Sachs "there is no further evidence that he gave further performances of" works by Cowan "Leone Sinigaglia 1868-1944" <i>Mahler Foundation website</i> https://mahlerfoundation.org/mahler/personen-2/sinigalia-leone-1868-1944.</p><p>Toscanini's reputation grew rapidly after he joined the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1908 where "for seven years Toscanini ruled over one of the most dazzling constellations of singers in the history of opera among them Caruso Scotti Farrar Destinn and Martinelli and to a remarkable extent succeeded in imposing his unique discipline on them" <i>The New Grove Dictionary</i>. In 1928 Toscanini became the New York Philharmonic's principle conductor and two years later CBS won the rights to broadcast the orchestra's performances making Toscanini "arguably the best-known symphonic conductor in the world… the relationship lasted until 1936 when Toscanini retired… the withdrawal of the colorful and temperamental Toscanini meant a loss both to the music world in general and to radio CBS in particular" <i>Music of the Great Depression </i>Young and Young. In 1937 NBC created a symphony orchestra especially for Toscanini and under his 17-year direction the weekly broadcasts numerous recordings and world-wide concert appearances only increased his already outsized reputation. </p><p>An extremely early letter from the twenty-year-old conductor. The only other example of an early letter written by Toscanini was one penned in 1918 more than twenty years after ours.</p><p>Folded and in very fine condition.</p><br /> books

Toscanini Arturo; Various Composers of Note
An Archive of Material and Correspondence from the Toscanini Estate Including a Draft of "To the People of America" with Notes in Toscanini's Hand
Various Places. Most 1940s-1950s various formats. Very Good. A wide-ranging collection of Toscanini material found amongst his scores in the estate of his grandson Walfredo. The highlight is a late draft of his speech "To The People of America" an important document in Italian-American history that was printed in Life Magazine during the Second World War. <br /> <br /> Full descriptions as follows:<br /> <br /> Typed Draft of Arturo Toscanini's "To The People of America" with Corrections in Toscanini's Hand.<br /> New York September 3 1943. <br /> A late typed draft of Arturo Toscanini's "To The People of America" which appeared ten days later in Life Magazine. Corrections in the hands of Walfredo and Arturo Toscanini. From the Toscanini estate. "On 13 September 1943 the editorial page of Life Magazine was occupied by an article entitled 'To the People of America' and signed by Arturo Toscanini; It was the only extensive declaration he ever wrote - and it was about politics not music. The article had originally been intended as a letter to President Roosevelt and the first drafts had been prepared for Arturo Toscanini by the Italian historians in exile Gaetano Salvemini and Giorgio La Plana who were both teaching at Harvard University at the time. They knew that their beliefs and Arturo Toscanini's coincided perfectly and they wanted the letter to appear over his signature because his fame was much greater than theirs. In their letter to President Roosevelt the exiles stated their hopes and fears for Italy's immediate future and they tried - as the text illustrates - to influence allied policy toward their native country." Harvey Sachs The Letters of Arturo Toscanini page 389. Sachs wrote in his 1978 biography of Toscanini that Toscanini wrote the article on his own but then found evidence to the contrary. Regardless of its hidden origins this letter was a defining moment in Toscanini's career in the United States. This copy from September 3 would have been one of the final drafts. The text is nearly identical to the published version with a few small changes - "defying everything" is added in the fourth paragraph of the published version the "." marks are replaced by simple periods in a few instances and "just" has been replaced by "righteous" in the published version. Strangely the one error in AT's hand - moving the word "either" in the sixth paragraph - did not make it into the printed version. A remarkable piece of Toscanini ephemera. Four pages carbon paper with text on rectos only. Excellent condition overall with some normal tanning. A few stray corrections in pencil which an accompanying folder from the estate states are in Walfredo's hand. <br /> <br /> A Collection of Nine Letters to Arturo Toscanini from his Colleagues.<br /> <br /> These letters were found inside various scores and sheet music in the Toscanini estate. A wonderful collection quite effusive in nature most containing high praise for the maestro discussing the works of various composers and lamenting the passage of time. Contains the following items: 1 Typed Letter Signed from Harold Byrns to Arturo Toscanini. New York 1942. 2 Typed Letter from Associated Music Publishers to Arturo Toscanini. New York 1949. 3 Manuscript Letter from Max Reiter to Arturo Toscanini. San Antonio 1948. 4 Typed Letter from Domenico Savino to Arturo Toscanini. New York 1945.

Stockton New Jersey 1956. 7 Autograph Letter from Robert Casadesus to Arturo Toscani. Princeton 1940. 8 Autograph Letter Signed from Pina Carmirelli to Arturo Toscanini. Rome 1951. In Italian. 9 Typed Letter from Foetisch Freres to Arturo Toscanini. Lausanne 1948. scanini. Lausanne 1948. <br /> <br /> Four Original Photographs of Arturo Toscanini in Rehearsal March 1954 with Negatives.<br /> New York 1954. <br /> <br /> A collection of four 9 x 7 photographs of the great Toscanini in rehearsal with their original negatives. From the estate of Arturo Toscanini. The images show Toscanini casually dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt conducting his orchestra. All photos are stamped "File Copy / Do Not Remove" and have holes in upper left corners from thumbtacks and have inventory numbers written in ink. The inventory numbers - which all contain the prefix "33107" suggest that they could be for the rehearsals from his final performance on April 4. <br /> <br /> Typed Letter from Arturo Toscanini to his Orchestra 1940.<br /> N.p. July 22 1940. Typed letter text on recto only.<br /> Arturo Toscanini wrote this letter to his orchestra upon the completion of a successful South American tour in 1940. He writes: "My dear friends sic Tomorrow our trip will be over. To-morrow we will be separated after two months we lived day by day the same life. It is very sad indeed but that is life. We have never been so linked all as one as in these 16 concerts. We must be proud of what we have done. God bless you all." The full text of the letter appears on page 374 of Harvey Sach's The Letters of Arturo Toscanini. Some indecipherable notes on margins in an unknown hand a few small various stains good condition overall. <br /> <br /> Christmas Card to Arturo Toscanini from the Embassy of the USSR 1943.<br /> Washington 1943.

From his NY Times Obituary 2/11/1964.<br> <br> Arturo Toscanini an Italian conductor is "considered one of the great virtuoso conductors of the first half of the 20th century.

Toscanini, Arturo
Inscribed Photograph of Arturo Toscanini Christmas 1944
1944. Near Fine. The four line inscription beneath a large photo of the great conductor is written and signed by Arturo Toscanini and dated Natale 1944 which is Christmas 1944. The photo is large measuring 19 by 16.5 cm not counting margins or the space below with the inscription. Including the matting the object is 37.5 by 28 cm. We don't know to whom the inscription was dedicated and part of the cursive script is utterly indecipherable to us. The only words entirely clear are the most antiseptic and obvious -- his wishing whomever a most affection good wishes. It is clear to us though that the photo wasn't given merely to a fan but rather to someone professional or socially connected to the conductor and we favor the former as the likelier. The photo is one that was used promotionally at the time as it is a flattering image of how he looked at his age then. He looks distinguished without appearing the least bit stuffy and while posed you can easily imagine that he might be listening to you in a casual conversation. At the time Toscanini lived in New York. He had fled Italy with the outbreak of the Second World War and in 1944 resumed the leadership of the NBC Symphony Orchestra. He was unquestionably one of the most influential and famous conductors of the early to mid-20th Century having been head conductor of the Metropolitan Opera the New York Philharmonic etc. and having also conducted the premiers of countless standard works among them "La Boheme" when he was just starting out. The matting is fairly heavily age toned. Otherwise there are no condition issues. unknown
