1939 Concert Program SIGNED BY JAN SMETERLIN, CLASSICAL PIANIST

Description: I have come across a collection of items signed by classical musicians - concert programs, actors - playbills, and politicians - letters and ephemera. These items were collected from the 1930s to the 1960s. None of the signed items have been authenticated, but all are consistent with other examples of the autographs easily found online. I will be posting them individually over time. This listing is for a concert program signed by JAN SMETERLIN, CLASSICAL PIANIST. The program is for a performance for the concert season, 1939-40 (this season identified in pencil on back cover bottom) sponsored by the Civic Music Association. The 4 page program (including front and rear covers) does not identify the location of the concert, but a website for the Civic Music Association of Des Moines, IA, provides a list of highlighted performers from its inception in 1925 to the current time. Jan Smeterlin was not highlighted on that page, but a 1939-1940 season was identified. The program is in VERY GOOD CONDITION, with an ink marking on back cover and the concert season noted in pencil also on back cover. On the performer from Wikipedia: "Jan Smeterlin (7 February 1892 in Bielsko, Austro-Hungarian Empire – 18 January 1967 in London) was a Polish concert pianist. He is especially known as an interpreter of Frédéric Chopin and Karol Szymanowski." Jackie EPH
