Spalding, Albert. (1888-1953) Signed Postcard PortraitBoldly signed postcard portrait of the great violinist whose courtroom premiere of the Barber Concerto is the stuff of legends! He also gave the American premiers of the Elgar and Dohnanyi concerti and wrote a terrific autobiography . His analysis of what a soloist feels when about to begin the Beethoven Concerto with it's opening broken octave entry, is rare and unusually intimate for such a work.
