Hans RICHTER (1843-1916)

Autograph Letter Signed (“Hans Richter”) to Herr Sachse regarding a former pupil.
1 page large 8vo in German, n.p., 11 September 1880. 
Trans: “I can’t give you an answer about the London German opera today, as I don’t know myself. Herr Barsch took lessons with me for a short while, but that was a long time ago (while still in Pest), so I cannot give an opinion about him as I do not know about his progress.”
Richter first conducted works by Wagner in England in the late 1870s, and later became a much appreciated conductor in Britain working with both the Hallé and the London Symphony Orchestras.
The letter has some brown staining, particularly at the top and bottom, but remains in clear and legible condition.
