Original publisher's white paper wrappers with staple binding. Includes printed text and illustrations in black ink. A handbill (c. 1929-1930) on one leaf of paper and printed on both sides is tipped in along gutter of Page 7. The handbill advertises performances by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Serge Koussevitzky. 5 3/4" x 8 3/4." Sixteen pages, complete. Included are many black-and-white advertisements, some of which have illustrations. Former owner's inscriptions on Page 9 (the only page with the program of Kreisler's recital on October 6, 1929) briefly comment on the songs played by Kreisler during his performance. Pages are very clean and intact overall except for light age toning, a horizontal fold line at center, glue and paper residue on back cover (Page 16), and a missing corner at the lower corner of the back cover's fore-edge that was torn off (missing piece measures about 1" x 3"). This torn corner barely affects any text. A Good copy. This is an original program published on the occasion of a recital by Fritz Kreisler, accompanied by Carl Lamson, at the Symphony Hall in Boston. Recital direction by C. J. Foley. Management was W. H. Brennan and G. E. Judd. Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) was a Austrian-American violinist and composer. He was considered one of the best violinists in his time and is still seen as such even to this day. Carl Lamson (1878-1966) was an American musician and instructor. He is perhaps best-known for being the accompanist to Kreisler. Lamson also ran the Lamson Music School in Lake Placid, New York and taught music at Boston University. Kreisler and Lamson's performance on October 6, 1929 featured the following songs: Nicolo Pasquali's "Sonata, A minor," Bach's "Chaconne," Saint-Saens's "Concerto No. 3, B minor," Beethoven's "Romance, F major," and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Fantasy on Russian Themes." Much of this pamphlet is composed of ads. The following are some of the businesses, products, and services advertised: Mason & Hamlin [piano manufacturer], Jay's [clothing], Majestic Radio, lessons by pianist and teacher Clara Larsen, Cafe Minerva, Steinway, M. Steinert & Sons, Lewandos [cleansing and dyeing services], Purdy [photography studio], and Town Taxi.
