KRENEK, ERNST
A.L.S. ""Ernst Krenek"" on his personal letterhead, 1p. 4to., Poughkeepsie, Mar. 3, 1941, an assertive letter to Eric Simon, prominent music historian and biographer, sending directions to his house, and adding: ""àPlease be sure to be here not later than 5 p.m.àso that we wouldn't be in a hurry, which is most distasteful. This is the season of sudden and unexpected blizzardsàAt the concert, we are supposed to wear tuxedos. All right?àBring your music with you!à"". In 1938, Krenek left Germany as his music was labeled as ""degenerate"" by the Nazis. He emigrated to the United States, and at the time of our letter, was professor of music at Vassar College. With a little drawing of a map at left margin. File holes at left, otherwise fine. 2278
