Handwritten letter to Julius Rietz, asking for information about the whereabouts of Johann Sebastian Bach’s 'Overture in D major.' In part; "Where is the Overture in D major by Seb. Bach that was once played at the Philharmonie? If you have it, please send it to me by the bearer, together with all the parts, as it is to be performed in my second concert. If you do not have it, then please do not send it, but let me know where it is and where I can find it. It is not, in fact, in the Philharmonie library…When will your Overture in E-flat be performed?" In fine condition. Accompanied by an export certificate from the French Ministry of Culture.
