Description

Percy Grainger

Well-regarded Australian-born pianist, conductor, and composer (1882–1961) best known for his folk settings and colorful experimental works. Matte-finish 10 x 8 photo of Grainger in a relaxed pose with sheet music in his hand, signed and inscribed in black ink, “To Louis Persinger, With most hearty greetings from Percy Grainger, Nov. 1916.” Noticeable creasing to corners and a bit of light contrast to signature against the dark background, otherwise fine condition. Originates from the collection of American violinist and pianist Louis Persinger (1887–1966), who trained at the Leipzig Conservatory and later taught at Juilliard, mentoring the likes of Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggiero Ricci, and Isaac Stern. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
