The programme we are releasing as a facsimilé contrasts with the usual publications: it accompanies a chamber music session rather than an orchestral concert.
Furtwängler — playing the piano — and violinist Georg Kulenkampff perform Furtwängler's Second Sonata in D major, on 5 December (and not 8 as indicated in the booklet). But not just anywhere.
Not only are they performing in the great hall of the Musikverein — over 1700 seats! — but, as the promotional sidebar states, the concert is ‘Ausverkauft’! It is sold out, and the ticket desk should be closed on the evening...
The same performers premiered the work in February of the same year — in Bielefeld — ‘toured’ it then, and performed it again in December, notably in Munich and Prague.
So many chamber musicians would be envious!
