Ziehrer, Carl Michael. (1843 - 1922). Signed Photograph with AMQS. An uncommon original cabinet photograph with a boldly penned AMQS from his Liebeswaltzer, signed "C.M. Ziehrer" and dated Wien 4/2 (19) 09. 10 x 20 cm and in very fine condition.
"The greatest rival to the Strauss brothers, Ziehrer's long career was similar to Johann Strauss II except for the periods as a military bandmaster. This experience gave a brashness and swagger to his compositions which, influenced by local folk music, created his unmistakable style. Though not an innovator he was a master of original melody....A monument to him stands in the Prater, and the Austrian National Library runs a permanent exhibition in the Theatre Museum and holds most scores, which belong to the Ziehrer Foundation."
