ANTON RUBINSTEIN - PIANIST/COMPOSER |
|
Autographed and inscribed Fritz Luckhardt of Vienna carte de visite photograph, 15 March, 1872. Rubinstein was in Vienna for concerts during the first part of the year, as well as the rehearsals of his newly revised opera, “Feramors” which was given its’ first performance since the 1863 World Premier in Dresden. Due to the anti-semetic prejudices of the “Wagnerverein” in Vienna, the performance was heckled by the group and therefore became one of Rubinstein’s only failures. Rubinstein sailed for American in September of this year and played 215 concerts from memory to massive acclaim. This was a new feat, as the custom was for pianists to play their concerts with the music on the stand. |
