Check the listing for details. 1937 Symphony Orchestra Program SIGNED BY MISCHA LEVITZKI, CLASSICAL PIANIST. Listed at 80.00 USD. I have come across a collection of items signed by classical musicians - concert programs, actors - playbills, and politicians - letters and ephemera. These items were collected from the 1930s to the 1960s. None of the signed items have been authenticated, but all are consistent with other examples of the autographs easily found online. I will be posting them individually over time. This listing is for a concert program signed by MISCHA LEVITZKI, famed classical pianist. The program is for a performance by The Albany Symphony Orchestra which took place in 1937 at an Albany Junior High School. The program is 12 pages (including front and rear covers and is in VERY GOOD CONDITION, with a slight amount of soiling around the top and right edges of the front cover, due to storage. The signature appears on page 7 over a bio of the artist. On Mischa Levitzki from the internet: "Mischa Levitzki (b Kremenchug, Ukraine, 25 May 1898; d Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ, 2 Jan. 1941) was an American pianist and composer. Born to naturalized American parents (Jacob Levine-Levitzki and Anna Levine-Levitzki) during a return to their native Ukraine, Levitzki began violin studies at the age of three. Developing an interest in the piano at six, he worked with Aleksander Michalowski in Warsaw (1905-1906). He made his concert debut in Antwerp in 1906 before going to New York with his parents. Shortly thereafter his father brought him to the attention of Walter Damrosch, who obtained a scholarship for him at the Institute of Musical Art as a pupil of Zygmunt Stojowski (1907-1911). In 1913 Levitzki entered the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, where he became the youngest student of Ernõ Dohnányi and was awarded the Mendelssohn Prize in 1915. He made his American debut on 17 October 1916 at Aeolian Hall, New York; later he toured frequently in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Levitzki is best known for his virtuosi performances of the Romantic repertory. His own piano compositions figured prominently in his program. Levitzki’s recordings from 1927 to 1933 reveal an exceptional clarity and delicacy of articulation." Jackie EPH
