http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155863316

Often concerns Furtwängler's engagements as a conductoror the politics of his career, as well as the possibility of meeting with Alma. A few particular highlights: in 1 letter, probably of the late 1920s, Furtwängler awaits news of the completion of a Verdi libretto from Franz Werfel; in 1 letter of January 1935 he asks Alma to convey to Alban Berg a clarification of his interaction with the conductor Erich Kleiber concerning the performance of Berg pieces; 1 letter of 1946 discusses Furtwängler's de-nazification proceedings; and in 1 letter of early 1949 Furtwängler mainly reflects on a boycott launched against him in Chicago.
