Austrian composer (1885-1935). TLS in German, one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.5, blind-stamped personal letterhead, August 6, 1930, with several corrections and additions in Berg’s hand. Letter to Heinrich K. Strohm, the director of the Stadttheaters Aachen, about a planned performance of his opera ‘Wozzeck’ on the occasion of the ‘Music Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music.’ Berg expresses regret in being unable to leave his work on ‘Lulu’ to attend Liege and Amsterdam, and wishes Strohm and his institute, Pella, “(the conductor Paul P.)” the best. He continues (translated): “It is in my own interest that if this is shown to an international musicianship, my primary work, which as so far been limited to German, that it be done in a representative way, and in a way corresponding to how I experienced this myself in Aachen!” In fine condition, with small newspaper caption affixed to bottom of reverse, and some light show-through from text on reverse.
