Fritz Reiner Signature - Symphony Conductor
<B>Frederick Martin (Fritz) Reiner Signature</B></I> on card 5.5" x 2", mounted on stiff card stock with a brief biographical sketch. Reiner (1888-1963) was one of the great international conductors of opera and symphonic music in the 20th century. Reiner pursued the study of piano, piano pedagogy, and composition at the Franz Liszt Academy. During his last two years there his piano teacher was the young Béla Bartók. After early engagements at opera houses in Budapest and Dresden (where he worked closely with Richard Strauss) he moved to the United States of America in 1922 to take the post of Principal Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He remained until 1931, having become a naturalized citizen in 1928, then began to teach at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his pupils included Leonard Bernstein and Lukas Foss.
