A delighted letter to the Vienna publican Feil, who had recently inaugurated a "Ziehrer Room" in his tavern: “Ich lese in den Zeitungen daß Sie die Liebenswürdigkeit hatten, in Ihrer beliebten Bierhalle ein Ziehrer-Stüberl einzurichten. Sie machen sich keinen Begriff, welch’ große Freude Sie mir dadurch bereitet haben. Ich danke Ihnen von ganzem Herzen dafür. Möge Ihnen mein bescheidener Name Glück bringen [...]”.
In his lifetime, Ziehrer was one of the fiercest rivals of the Strauss family. Sometimes considered even more Viennese than the Strausses, he was certainly more prolific, composing over 600 waltzes, polkas and marches which are still performed today.
On stationery with printed letterhead. Traces of folds; a small tear to lower edge (barely touching text).
