THALBERG SIGISMOND: (1812-1871) - THALBERG SIGISMOND: (1812-1871) Austrian Composer and Pianist. A good content A.L.S., S. Thalberg , one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., to Masset, in French. Thalberg is very concerned about the performance scheduled in a theatre where the audience has created lately multiple problems, stating ` Hier et aujourd´hui j´ai tant entendu crier contre cette salle du Gymnase que je n´ose vraiment pas y donner de concert. Je vous prie donc de faire retirer les annonces des jounaux et d´interrompre les négociations avec le propriétaire de la salle. C´est bien dommage que le public ait des préjugés de cette sorte car le local me plaisait beaucoup, mais une foule de personnes m´ont assuré que le beau monde n´y irait pas. J´ai quelques espoirs d´obtenir la salle du Conservatoire. Je suis désolé de vous causer tant d´embarras...´ (Translation: ” Yesterday and today I heard so much outcry against this Gymnase hall that I really don't dare give a concert there. I therefore ask you to have the advertisements removed from the newspapers and to break off negotiations with the owner of the hall. It's a shame that the public has such prejudices because I really liked the venue, but so many people people have assured me that the upper class wouldn't go there. I have some hope of obtaining the Conservatoire hall. I'm sorry to cause you so much embarrassment...”) Addressed to the verso in Thalberg´s hand. Small overall age wear, otherwise G
