ALBERT, Eugen dí (1864-1932).

This German pianist and opera composer served as court pianist at Weimar; his compositions include the verismo-style opera "Tiefland" (1903) and "Die toten Augen" (1916), as well as a symphony, piano concertos and string quartets. AQS, irregular 6½" X 3½", Bremen, Germany, 1895 January 8. Good only. Cut in an irregular shape, with some age spots; heavy mounting traces on verso. Large and bold signature near upper left, and below this a quite small place and date; to right of this is an unattributed quotation in German: "Die Menschen sind alle dem Bosen ergeben; wohl Dem, der den Kampf besteht." Interesting despite flaw. Item #22376
