Schoenberg, Arnold. (1874–1951). "I will have Dr. Webern, if he has time to listen to you, tell me what he thinks of you" - Autograph letter signed to Josef Kriegler. ALS of the Austrian composer to the violinist Josef Kriegler, then at the Grand Hotel in Kitzbühel, Austria. 1 p. Card (verso blank). Berlin, February 20, 1933; sender's address hand stamped. With envelope; address typed. In full (translated from the German): "Dear Mr. Kriegler, I remember you very well and am happy to hear that you are dedicating yourself to serious art. I will have Dr. Webern, if he has time to listen to you, tell me what he thinks of you. But please tell me yourself as well how it went. Best regards, Arnold Schönberg." [P.S.]: Do you know that Görgi lives in Berlin? Berlin-Halensee, Schweidnitzer Straße 5." Oblong format, 3.75 x 5.5 inches (9.4 x 14.2 cm). Minimally creased/frayed at upper edge; in fine condition overall.
"Görgi" is how Schoenberg referred to his son from his first marriage, Georg Schönberg (1906–1974). Not much is known about Josef Kriegler, though we were able to find some records of his chamber music performances in Vienna in the early 1940s.
