Rosenthal, Moriz. (1862–1946) & Galli-Curci, Amelita. (1882–1963). Autograph Signatures.

Signatures of the legendary Austrian-born pianist and composer (on recto, in pencil, across a musical staff, dated "Manchester Nov. 26/1921") and the great Italian-born soprano (on verso, in ink, dated "1924") to a small paper slip, probably cut from a notebook.  Oblong format with rounded corners, 3.5 x 4 inches (8.1 x 10.2 cm).  Name identification in an unknown hand to recto, else in very good condition.


Born in what is now Ukraine and partly educated in what is now Poland (but all under Austrian rule), Rosenthal emerged as one of the outstanding virtuosos of his time.  In addition, he enjoyed a remarkable general education, studying at the University of Vienna with Eduard Hanslick and other luminaries.  From 1936 he lived in the United States. 

Galli-Curci was trained as a pianist and became a singer only in her twenties.  After initial successes in her native country, she began to tour internationally and appeared in the United States from 1916—first in Chicago, then also at the Met.  A surgical procedure gone awry ended her operatic career in 1935. She retired to California.
