Important Danish composer (1865-1931) best known for his six grandly scaled symphonies, a number of which bear such evocative subtitles as 'The Expansive' (No. 3) and 'The Inextinguishable' (No. 4). ALS in Danish, one page, 4.75 x 6.5, December 29, 1913. Letter to organist and composer Christian Geisler, in full (translated): "When I have conducted the Royal Symphony Orchestra I have been a substitute and have no influence on the programs. I can't tell you anything about the possibility for your works. There is a committee that makes the final decisions. Wille in the choir knows of whom the committee consists. I don't remember." In fine condition. Nielsen played violin at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen until 1905, when he became the second conductor for the Royal Symphony Orchestra of Copenhagen. He served in that capacity until 1914, before moving on to conduct the orchestra of the 'Musikforeningen [Music Society]' until 1926. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
