Description
Zemlinsky, Alexander. Postcard photograph signed, (5.37 x 3.25 in.; 137 x 83 mm.), 1927; mounting remnants on verso. An Austrian composer, conductor, and teacher, Zemlinsky enjoyed a long and productive career. His best-known work is the Lyric Symphony (1923), a seven-movement piece for soprano, baritone and orchestra, set to poems by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore (in German translation). In a letter to his publisher, Zemlinsky compared his Lyric Symphony to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, though the first part of Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder is also a clear influence. The work in turn influenced Alban Berg's Lyric Suite, which quotes from it and is dedicated to Zemlinsky himself.Auction Info
