Luxury [mahler, Gustav. (1860-1911)] Original 1910 Program From Conducting Engagement In Rome Device [wRxmrdot]

Original concert program from the great composer's appearance conducting the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome on May 1, 1910. Mahler led the orchestra in a program including Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 6, Wagner's Siegfried Idyll and the prelude to Meistersinger, and Beethoven's Leonora overture. 4 pp. Light wear around the edges; on p. 3, an asterisk has been marked in the margin; otherwise in very good condition overall. 6.5 x 10 inches (16.7 x 25 cm).

The concert in Rome was to be the second of a series of three, but Mahler was so dissatisfied with the orchestra that he cancelled the third concert. According to biographer Peter Franklin: "Following a rather unsatisfactory season of concerts in Rome, with a sub-standard orchestra that Mahler had harangued in his most peremptory manner, he returned with Alma to Vienna [...] They then proceeded to Toblach for the last and perhaps most troubled summer of Mahler's life." (Peter Franklin: The Life of Mahler, p. 188.)
