ALS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, The Drake letterhead, November 8, 1961. Fantastic letter concerning the Israel Philharmonic. In part: “To me, as a violinist, the pattern culminating in the existence of the Israel Philharmonic orchestra seems clear and inevitable, the violin being, par excellence, perhaps even more than the piano, the prime expression of the Jewish musician. By this very token, it seems supremely logical that it should have fallen to a great violinist, Bronislav Hubermann, to have realized the ideal of growing this orchestra, which in its turn, existing before the State of Israel became a fact, was the first concrete symbol of things to come. This orchestra, therefore, will always represent an intrinsic part of the hopes and reality of the State of Israel.” Scattered creases, brushing to a few letters, and filing holes to the left edge, otherwise fine condition.
