Carreno, Theresa. (1853-1917). Autograph Musical Quotation. AMQS, signed "Yours Sincerely, Teresa Carreno. Boston Oct. 28th/89." Two detailed measures from a Prelude marked "Lento" from the great Venezuelan pianist/composer/conductor/singer. 6 x 7 inches, vertically creased, small tears at base, otherwise in fine condition. Together with a vintage halftone photograph.
"When eight years old she was taken to New York, where she studied with Gottschalk. Four years later, after studies in Paris with Mathias and later with Anton Rubinstein, she embarked on her career. She had particular success in Germany, where she lived and taught for over 30 years. In 1872 she married the violinist Emile Sauret, with whom she played sonatas. Her interest in string music prompted her to write a String Quartet in B minor; most of her other compositions were for piano, mostly in a brilliant style. The marriage was dissolved, and in 1875 she married the baritone Giovanni Tagliapietra, and later spent two years in Venezuela with him, organizing and conducting an opera company in which she also sang. This marriage, too, came to grief, and she reappeared as a pianist in 1889, making a triumphant tour of Europe. In 1892 she married Eugen d'Albert, under whose influence her style changed: from having been an impetuous, almost tempestuous player, she became a thoughtful and profound interpreter. In 1895 the d'Albert marriage came to an end, and in 1902 she married her second husband’s brother, Arturo Tagliapietra. In 1938 her ashes were ceremoniously laid to rest in Venezuela."
