[Schoenberg School] Schoenberg, Arnold. (1974–1951) & Berg, Alban. (1885–1935) & Webern, Anton. (1883–1945) & Eisler, Hanns. (1898–1962) & Hauer, Josef. (1883–1959). Five envelopes addressed to Heinrich Burkard. Five empty envelopes addressed to Heinrich Burkard (1888–1950), music director of the Donaueschingen music festival. Contents:
From Arnold Schoenberg, Mödling; typed address, hand stamped sender's address to verso; postmarked July 1, 1924. Envelope for condolence letters. 4.25 x 6.25 inches (11 x 16 cm). Ink stains to verso.
From Alban Berg, Vienna; autograph address, hand stamped sender's address to verso; postmarked February 7, 1927 (recipient postmark from Donaueschingen to verso). 4.25 x 5.75 inches (11 x 14.4 cm). Slight loss to verso at opening.
From Anton Webern, Mödling; autograph address, autograph sender's address to verso ("Dr. Anton Webern..."); postmarked Vienna, June 26, 1924[?]. 4.25 x 6 inches (10.5 x 15.4 cm). Edges creased.
From Hans [sic] Eisler, Vienna; autograph address, hand stamped sender's address to verso; postmarked May 30, 1925. 3.5 x 5.5 inches (9.2 x 14 cm). Creased.
From Josef Hauer, Vienna; autograph address, hand stamped sender's address to verso; postmarked July 7, 1924. 4.25 x 7 inches (11 x 17.5 cm). Frayed at opening.
An interesting, possibly unique collection of documents from Schoenberg, his three most significant students, and his somewhat sectarian rival (Hauer), who all had their music performed at the Donaueschingen festival, the leading festival for new music in Germany at the time.
Strangely, Eisler's hand stamp gives his first name as "Hans", with one n only.
