## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a dramatic vintage editorial poster about the disastrous 1859 Leipzig premiere of a Brahms piano concerto, in a bold historical collage style.

Canvas: Vertical 4:5 poster, aged cream paper background with slight stains and print texture, high contrast black, ivory, vivid cobalt blue, and a thin red accent line.

Layout: Left side dominated by huge stacked Spanish headline text in ultra-condensed bold black sans-serif, reading {headline_text}. Place the headline in 3 lines: “SOLO TRES”, “PERSONAS”, “APLAUDIERON”. Add a thin red underline beneath the last headline line. Below it, add a smaller cobalt-blue location/date line reading {location_date}. Bottom-left corner shows a small white page marker reading {page_marker}.

Main subject: On the right half, place a large engraved black-and-white portrait of {composer}, shown from the chest up, serious and brooding, facing slightly left, with wavy swept hair, Victorian jacket, white shirt, and bow tie. The portrait should look like an antique etching cut out from paper, with a pale irregular border around it.

Collage elements: Include exactly 4 main visual collage elements besides the portrait: 1) a black-and-white antique concert hall interior photo in the upper right, cropped rectangular, showing ornate balconies, columns, ceiling decoration, and chandelier; 2) a close-up strip of piano keys in the lower left, angled diagonally; 3) torn sheet music across the lower center, tilted and partly overlapping the piano keys; 4) a cobalt-blue angular paper shape behind the lower center figures and sheet music. Include exactly 3 small black silhouetted people standing on the blue shape near the lower center, all clapping, spaced evenly, representing the only three applauding attendees.

Typography and style: Use brutalist poster typography, tall condensed block letters, slightly imperfect ink edges, distressed offset printing, halftone dots, photocopied engraving texture, torn-paper collage edges, and a documentary music-history mood. The composition should feel like a magazine carousel cover or historical YouTube essay thumbnail, with strong visual hierarchy and no extra decorative text.

Constraints: Preserve exactly the visible text elements and counts: 1 large headline, 1 red underline, 1 blue location/date label, 1 page marker, 1 composer portrait, 1 concert hall photo, 1 piano-key image, 1 sheet-music fragment, 1 blue angular shape, and exactly 3 applauding silhouettes. Do not add logos, watermarks, captions, or additional people.
