[Mahler, Gustav. (1860-1911)]. Original 1910 Program from Conducting Engagement in Rome. 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.)
