Recto, [no inscription]; Verso, handwritten: Folk Dance Revival in Austria / festival; typed label: 9-10. The music of these dance festivals is played on wind instruments from big trumpets and horns to small flutes. Although the musicians have played their tunes many hundreds of times, they still find it necessary to hold a sheet with notes, generally in one hand, as only very few instruments are equipped with holders. As the would normally need both hands to handle their instruments, nobody can blame a musician if he hits once in a while a "sour note" under such difficult circumstances.; handwritten: 9 [circled]; stamped: [star shape] Credit: / KOSTI RUOHOMAA / from BLACK STAR / GRAYBAR BUILDING, NEW YORK
