Description
In German. Letter to the historian and composer R. Sternfeld (1858-1926), leading member of the Wagner-Verein. Sternfeld repeatedly promoted Wolfs music and gave him several performance opportunities. Wolf writes he's struggling with the idea to perform his works as a part of a so called "populären Conzerte", a concert where people can eat, drink and smoke during the performance. He asks Sternfeld how he sees the implementation of such a concert and what music can be performed, instrumental or vocal : "ich bitte Sie (...) diese (...) Fragen in Geduld zu beantworten".
