Toscanini, Arturo. (1867–1957). AMQS "Tristan und Isolde.". Autograph Musical Quotation Signed (“Arturo Toscanini”), in red ink. 1 page, oblong 12mo. Dated April 16, 1937, three bars from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, page tipped to mount, matted and framed with a wonderful portrait to 16 X 18 inches overall.
Toscanini conducted Tristan as his 1930 Bayreuth debut, where he appeared as the first ever non-German conductor. A miraculous recording of that performance's Act I survives (with Melchior, Larsen-Todsen, Helm, and Bockelmann), though the rest has sadly not been found.
