Item Overview

Description

Typed Letter Signed ("Arnold Schoenburg"), 1 p, 4to, Los Angeles, April 23, 1951, to Deward J. Tomlin, on personal letterhead, light toning, two spots at lower quarter.

Schoenberg writes this letter to a fan just a few months before his death: "I am sure you would also like some of the works of my first period, Pelleas and Melisande, the Kammersymphonie, Pierrot Lunaire, Serenade and the four string quartets—perhaps all of those which are now available on records. / I am sorry that your Gurre Lieder set is not complete, so as mine. But I will try a friend to have copies made from the missing discs. Tell me your missing numbers—it will not cost you too much."
