It was a painting of the orchestra conducted by Gustav Mahler. He combined both group and individual portraits and atmospherically translated the effects of music into painting. In 1938 Oppenheimer showed the triptych in Zurich. From there he had to flee to New York to escape Nazism. The wood panels followed him by ship in 1939 and thereafter were exhibited in America on many occasions, including at the San Francisco World’s Fair. The artist repeatedly reworked the painting. It was his wish to show The Philharmonic in Vienna. In 1954, this return to Vienna was about to happen, but Oppenheimer died shortly before his departure. The work was bought by the Republic of Austria that same year.

Klingler played first violin, his brother Fridolin viola, and the remaining members alternated. The quartet finally disbanded in 1936 rather than cede to the pressure of the National Socialists to replace the Jewish cellist Ernst Silberstein. Max Oppenheimer, himself a passionate violinist, translated the musical interaction into a dynamic fabric of hands, scores, and instruments. After his art had been labeled “degenerate” by the Nazis, Oppenheimer fled from Vienna in 1938 via Switzerland to the USA.
