Description: Vintage 6X4.25 card with Max Butting's name and address printed on it. He writes an untranslated letter in German on both sides of the card signing it at the conclusion "Max Butting" in black ink. German composer, 1888-1976" Next to Butting's studies at the Academy of Composition in Munich, he also learned composition by private instruction from Courvoisier. After being admitted into the left-wing "Novembergruppe", Butting worked as a musical journalist for the "Sozialistischen Monatsheften" (Socialist Monthly Magazine). His works became better known through performances at the music festivals of the Society for New Music. To ensure his survival through the father's ironmonger business that he had inherited, he found himself obliged to join the Nazi Party in 1940. After 1945 Butting lived as a freelance composer in East Berlin. He was one of the first composers to confront his art with the medium of radio." This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022. Jim Wiggins accumulated the most unique and valuable autograph collection over a period of 70-plus years. He obtained his collection either in person or by writing to persons of fame and notoriety. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
