MAHLER, Gustav (1860-1911). Autograph letter signed ("Gustav Mahler"), to an unidentified correspondent, n.p., n.d. 2 pages, oblong 8vo, in giltwood frame.
MAHLER'S INSISTENCE ON HIGH ARTISTIC STANDARDS IN AN ORCHESTRA HE IS TO CONDUCT Mahler writes in reference to a concert engagement which he is to conduct, requesting "information about the orchestra, how it has been put together, and how many rehearsals will be available." True to form, the composer stresses "I would have to make it a condition that the orchestra meets the artistic standards that I am used to." He confirms that his concert fee for the performance will be 1000 marks.
Mahler became legendary as a conductor for demanding high standards of performance, and was notorious for his refusal to compromise artistic integrity, which aroused intense opposition in some quarters in both Vienna and New York.
