Footnotes

1 On April 22–23, 1933, the Tag der Musikpflege, encouraged by the conductor Friedrich Dürauer and organized by the music critic Robert, was celebrated at events throughout Austria in which musicians offered their services free of charge. In the capital, concerts were given by the Vienna Philharmonic, singers from the State Opera, and several chamber music societies. At the Opera, free ballet performances were offered to children from poor families (see Paul Stefan, "Ein ‘Tag der Musikpflege’ in Wien," Musikblätter des Anbruch 15, vol. 4/5 (1933), p. 68). At the Palais Kinsky, Carl Bamberger conducted a Bach Brandenburg concerto and a cantata, a harpsichord concerto by Haydn, and a Divertimento in D major by Mozart (probably K. 334, on account of its famous Minuet, which is mentioned by the reviewer: see "Kleine Chronik. Kammerkonzert im Palais Kinsky," Neue freie Presse, No. 24648, April 26, 1933, evening edition, p. 2).
