Twice autographed postcard photograph of the German Romantic age composer.
Humperdinck (1854-1921) a Wagner disciple was one of the most prolific composers of his age. His opera “Hansel und Gretel” is one of the most enduring works in the operatic repertory and the music from the work has been taught to children world wide in their elementary schools. While his other works including the Metropolitan Opera commissioned “Königskinder” has not fared as well as 5 other operas and incidental music for various works and numerous songs, his place in operatic history is secure. Wagner thought so much of him, that he engaged Humperdinck to teach composition and theory to his son Siegfried. Humperdinck also inspired a British pop singer to change his ordinary name to the composers.
The postcard signed twice has been priced according to condition, the silvering is far less visible in person. |
