Footnotes1 Schenker’s Syrische Tänze were published in October 1899, and first performed in Vienna by Schenker and Moriz Violin on January 26, 1900. D’Albert’s opera Kain was first performed on January 8, 1900 in Berlin (according to Charlotte Pangels, Eugen d’Albert: Wunderpianist und Komponist, Zürich: Atlantis, 1981, p. 196); when the piano reduction was issued is unclear. The editorial year-dating of this postcard is based on this information. |
