Desirable AMQS on an off-white 4.5 x 6.5 sheet, signed below, "So pocht das Schicksal an unsere Pforte [The way the fate knocks at our door], Arthur Nikisch, Nov. 1920." Nikisch pens the famous opening bars of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, one of the most popular musical pieces of all time. Framed and in very good to fine condition, with light overall wrinkling. This piece holds a special importance for Nikisch: he recorded the work in 1913 with the Berlin Philharmonic, and the piece has been widely regarded as the first recording of a full length classical composition. Although there had been an earlier 1910 recording of the piece, the Nikisch recording was the first to be widely distributed and is recognized as a milestone in the history of the music industry.
