“One of the Last Representatives of the Old Neapolitan School” 99. NICOLINI, Giuseppe 1762-1842 Ah' Se Mi lasci oh' Cara Scena, e Aria. [Full score]. Copyist's manuscript. Of Italian provenance, ca. 1807. Oblong folio (ca. 225 x 297 mm). Sewn. [i] (title), 30, [i] (blank) pp. Notated in black ink on laid paper with 10 rastrum-drawn staves per page. Partially uncut. Scored for 2 horns in F, 2 flutes, violin I and II, voila, bassoon, violin solo, soprano (Decebalo), and basso. Copied in two early 19th-century hands. Minor soiling and staining to outer bifolium and edges of several leaves; many leaves with pinhole to upper corner. Both Ah' se mi lasci and Traiano in Dacia exist in manuscript in European libraries. The aria was published in two early Viennese editions, by Artaria (part of Pezzi favoriti dell'... Trajano in Dacia arranged for clavicembalo; ca. 1808) and Thadé Weigl. The opera seems not to have been published in its entirety. RISM A/1/13, p. 200. RISM and Grove Music Online. Worldcat. Traiano in Dacia was first performed at the Teatro Argentina in Rome on February 3 (or 7), 1807. "As one of the last representatives of the old Neapolitan school, which by 1800 was in decline and was soon to be engulfed in a process of national unification of musical taste (to which the work of Rossini was to give the strongest impetus), Nicolini imitated its models with ability but reduced them to stereotyped formulae. Nevertheless, for about 20 years, principally between 1811 and 1820, he could count on an enormous public, even outside Italy, who exalted him to the level of the most celebrated masters. In 1807 in Rome, his Traiano in Dacia, starring the castrato Velluti, defeated Cimarosa’s much-loved classic Gli Orazi ed i Curiazi in a contest for popular favour." He was eclipsed by Rossini in later years, and "abandoned the theatre completely in 1831 to devote himself to sacred music." Andrea Lanza in Grove Music Online. (25107) $300

100. NICOLINI, Giuseppe 1762-1842 [Coriolano, ossia L’assedio di Roma]. L'Armi deponi o Caro Duetto. Musical manuscript full score with piano reduction. Italian, ca. 1810. Oblong folio (300 x 235 mm). Sewn. [i] (title, 21, [ii] (blank) pp. Notated in ink on 12-stave paper. Ascription to title: "Del Sigo M:ro Nicolini." Note to lower right corner of title: "Per uso della Nobil Donzella La Sig:ra Marchesa Ignazia Roberti;" "Po. I No. 24," to lower left corner of title. Various watermarks. Twelve-stave systems. Scored for [2] Oboè, [2] Clarini [!Clarinetti in C], [2] Corni in Fa, [2] Fagotti, [2] Violini, Viole, two unidentified vocal staves [for Volunia and Coriolano] in soprano clef, unfigured instrumental bass, Piano-Forte. In F major. Numerous ink stains and smudges, especially to first leaves; some worming to title, lower margin slightly dampstained, early paper repair to lower inner corner. From an unpublished opera, the duet only published by Ricordi in Milan in 1808 (PN 24), also in full score with piano reduction but apparently with Coriolano's part changed from soprano (castrato) to tenor. RISM lists approximately 15 copies of the duet (with or without other parts from the opera) for varying forces. An opera seria in two acts with a libretto by Luigi Romanelli, first performed in Milan at La Scala on December 26, 1808. "Around 1800, Nicolini was one of the main masters of opera seria and classical bel canto... As an outspoken specialist in opera seria he was especially successful with his large-scale castrato arias, and the decline of that voice type precipitated his fall from favor in the time of [post-Napoleonic] restoration..." Arnold Jacobshagen in MGG2. (26902) $265 From Offenbach’s Popular La chanson de Fortunio 101. OFFENBACH, Jacques 1819-1880 La chanson de Fortunio. Autograph musical quotation signed in full. 5 measures of the vocal line from Offenbach's La chanson de Fortunio. Notated in treble clef on one staff with a key signature of four flats and the following text underlay in French: Si vous croyez que je vais dire qui j'ose aimer. In 6/8 time. With autograph titling. 1 page (ca. 112 x 263 mm.) cut from a larger leaf. Dated Paris, July 3, [18]64. Notated in black ink on music paper with Lard-Esnault Paris 28 Rue Feydeau embossed at upper left margin. Slightly browned; trimmed, not affecting signature or notation; two minor creases; small remnant of former mount to blank verso. "[Offenbach] was, with Johann Strauss II, one of the two composers of outstanding significance in popular music of the 19th century and the composer of some of the most exhilaratingly gay and tuneful music ever written. His opera Les contes d’Hoffmann has retained a place in the international repertory, but his most significant achievements lie in the field of operetta. Orphée

aux enfers, La belle Hélène, La vie parisienne, La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein and La Périchole remain outstanding examples of the French and international operetta repertory. Moreover, it was through the success of Offenbach’s works abroad that operetta became an established international genre, producing outstanding national exponents in Strauss, Sullivan and Lehár and evolving into the 20th-century musical." Andrew Lamb in Grove Music Online. La chanson de Fortunio, an opéra-comique in one act to a libretto by Ludovic Halévy and Hector Crémieux, was first performed at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in Paris on January 5, 1861. Although the opéra never entered the standard repertoire, its title song (from which the present quotation comes), remained extremely popular. (25554) $2,200

Autograph Sketch Leaf 102. OFFENBACH, Jacques 1819-1880 Autograph musical manuscript sketches for an unidentified work. One leaf, verso blank. Folio. (327 x 247 mm.). Notated in brown ink on 20-stave paper. No time signatures (3/4 implied throughout), no key signatures, no text underlay. Undated. One of the sketches is a four-part canon, apparently in B-flat major; one illegible word in Offenbach's hand above the beginning of the first sketch; later pencilled annotation to upper margin. Slightly worn and browned; creased at folds and slightly overall; occasional stains, smudges, and small edge tears; one small tape repair to edge of blank verso. (27183) $1,500

103. PACINI, Giovanni 1796-1867 Two excerpts from the opera Il corsaro. Musical manuscript vocal score. Without accompaniment. Oblong small folio (290 x 220 mm.). 12 pp. (original pagination to upper outer corners); pp. 5-6 with blank staves. Notated in ink on 14-stave paper. No watermarks. Pages 1-4: O cielo m'ispira for two sopranos (C1 clef), tenor (C4 clef), and bass (F clef). In D major, 3/4 time. Systems have from 1 to 4 staves depending upon who sings. All four parts include virtuosic passages, marking them as solo parts; characters unidentified. Additions in pencil to p. 4. Pages 7-12: Invan crude le estinguere for four unidentified (?solo) voices. No clefs (C1, C1, C4, and F4 implied); no key signature (D major implied); no time signature (alla breve or common time implied). Systems have from 3 to 4 staves depending on who sings. Includes mild polyphony (pp. 8 and 10). In very good condition overall. A comparison with the printed libretto of the opera (Il corsaro: melodramma romantico in tre parti; da rappresentarsi nell'I. R. Teatro alla Scala il carnevale dell'anno 1831-32 published by Truffi in Milan, 1831) allows the identification of the two fragments as the beginning and end of the finale of Act 2 of the opera. The first soprano part is assigned to the characters of Medora and Corrada, the second to Gulnara, the tenor part to Seid, and the bass part to Giovanni and Gonzalvo. The present copy was most probably executed for use in rehearsal. First performed at the Teatro Apollo in Rome on January 15, 1831. The libretto is by Jacopo Ferretti after Lord Byron. "Among the many opera composers who flourished in Italy between the last great masters of the 18th century and the advent of Rossini, Pavesi stands out for his strikingly individual musical personality. During the Napoleonic period the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung acclaimed Pavesi as one of the five best composers in Italy. He had an original and lively melodic invention, supported by a mastery of the orchestra and polished craftsmanship that were perhaps learnt from Gazzaniga, a musician who had formed his style from a complex variety of European sources. His early symphonies are similar in style to late Haydn and Mozart; his best works are characterized by sparkling orchestration, unusual phrase structure, modal interchange and extensive development sections. Pavesi's opera Ser Marcantonio (1810), similar in subject to Donizetti's Don Pasquale, had 54 successive performances at La Scala and was taken up by the principal opera houses of Italy." Giovanni Carli Ballola and Roberta Montemorra Marvin in Grove Music Online. (27214) $150

The Only Known Source 104. PAVESI, Stefano 1779-1850 Alla Tua quest Alma unita Gran Scena Nell' Opera il Teodoro Con L'Accompagnamento del Solo Forte Piano Ridotta. [Piano-vocal score]. Copyist's manuscript. Italian provenance, ca. 1812-1820. Oblong folio (ca. 225 x 305 mm). Sewn. 1f. (title), 23, [i] (blank) pp. Notated in black ink on laid paper with 10 rastrum-drawn staves per page. Partially uncut. Scored for soprano and fortepiano. In two different hands. Foliated in pencil and black ink. Several somewhat crudely executed erasures and corrections. Slightly worn; occasional soiling, staining, and bleeding; pinholes to some edges. No manuscript or published scores of either the present aria or the complete opera recorded in RISM, Worldcat, or Grove Music Online. Worldcat records several early editions (ca. 18131818) of the libretto, evidently for performances in Venice, Florence and Milan. Teodoro was first performed at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice on December 26, 1812. (25109)

German Music Making in 1860s Ohio 105. [PIANO MUSIC - 19th Century - German-American] Manuscript piano music from the 1860s relative to GermanAmerican music-making. With Ohio provenance. Oblong folio. Dark brown leather-backed light black marbled paper boards. 100 ff. notated on ten-stave paper. Most probably executed by professional copyists on at least three different papers, the former two sections notated in one specific hand each, the third in several. Most music is for piano, two hands: original compositions, arrangements of folksongs and dances (originally often for wind band), and paraphrases from operas. Some pieces numbered, albeit with conflicting numberings. Two pieces of texted music, partly on three staves, and an explanation of the tenor clef from ff. 87v. to 88v. The language is mostly German, with some titles and annotations to pieces of French origin in French. "Moser" in manuscript to upper margin of f. 89r. Signature in pencil to upper left corner of upper pastedown: "Emma Lothmann

Akron Ohio"; inscription in black ink to upper right corner: "Zum Geschenk erhalten von Wittwe [!Witwe] Baumgärtel. Akron, O Jan. 31. 1875." List of 18 items (17 pieces of music and one poetic declamation) in black ink to recto of front endpaper, apparently the program of an unknown concert. The list refers to numbers in an unidentified collection (e.g., "Musikstück von Müller No. 17") but does not mirror any numbering found in the present volume. Instructions on piano tuning in pencil to verso of front endpaper. Two legal texts in black ink to lower pastedown, dated "St. 29. Okt [18]62 and signed "K." Calculations in pencil dated "1 Juli 1864 65" also to lower pastedown. Boards quite worn and bumped; spine defective; upper pastedown and front endpaper stained. In quite good condition overall. The first 28 leaves show traces of earlier binding, with pagination to upper outer corners of subsequent leaves partially trimmed, suggesting that these were also rebound. Composers represented, in alphabetical order (names in brackets known but not credited; a few pieces remain anonymous): Daniel-François-Esprit Auber; Bader (multiple entries); Ludwig van Beethoven (Kinsky Anh. 14 no. 2 and Anh. 15; both probably spurious); François-Adrien Boieldieu; Paul Cuzent; Carl Czerny; ?J. Esser; Philipp Fahrbach sr.; [?Joseph] Fiala; A. Graf; Ch.-H. Großmüller (multiple entries); L. Günther; Ferdinand Hérold; Johann Nepomuk Hummel; François Hünten (multiple entries); [Franz Jaeger]; L. Kemble; G. Köhler (multiple entries); Krug; Josef Küffner; Wilhelm Kühner; G. Kunze; Josef Lanner (multiple entries); Josef Liehmann; [Alexander Lvov] (Russian national anthem); Heinrich Marschner; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (K. 281/189f); ?Mueller; J. Prosnitz; Mathilde Ringelsberg; Gioachino Rossini; W. Rothe; J. ?Sabizkij; J. [?Jacob] Schmitt; Gasparo Spontini; Daniel Steibelt; J. Straka; Johann Strauss sr. (multiple entries); P. A. Suppus; F. W. Swoboda; [Stenzer, Karl]; Richard Wagner; Joseph Maria Wolfram; Jos[ef] Worliczek. The present manuscript was copied from printed editions of German or Austrian provenance, published between ca. 1830 to 1850. While some of the music may have been copied earlier, the compilation dates from the 1850s or early 1860s. There is no evidence of the inclusion of original music or of major changes introduced by the copyist. The source for the texts of one of the two vocal pieces, Postillon-Polka, is unknown. The music was published anonymously and without text by Endter in Nuremberg in 1850. The text of the other vocal piece, Kriegs-Lust, was published in volume 4 of the anthology Das singende Deutschland (Leipzig: Reclam, 1846), p. 97 (but with different music). The copyists of the music and the author(s) of the textual matter to the endpapers are unknown; likewise, the identity of the "widow Baumgärtel" of Akron, Ohio, could not be established. It is likely that she presented the collection to young Emma Lothmann, who was six years old in January 1875. Emma L. Lothmann (b. Valley City, Ohio, October 5, 1868; died Akron, Ohio, November 14, 1948), was the daughter of William Lothman (1845-1931), a German-born Lutheran minister who served at Akron's Zion church for many years and left a mark in the history of the city. The Akron City Directory of 1892-93 lists Emma Lothmann as a teacher, still unmarried and under her father's address. She was later married to Edward H. Buehl (1866-1940) and seems to have spent her entire adult life in Akron. An interesting document relative to German-American music making from the midnineteenth century, carefully executed in an attractive hand on high quality paper. (25419) $400

From the Symphony No. 2 106. PISTON, Walter 1894-1976 Symphony No. 2. Autograph musical quotation signed in full. 4 measures notated in blue ink marked "Moderato" at head and identified in Piston's hand as being from Symphony No. 2. Dated June 12, 1968 and inscribed to Arthur J. Siemientkowski. Octavo, 225 x 145 mm. Creased at folds; slightly browned; two small holes to blank lower edge. ["Piston's"] masterful orchestrations emphasize clarity and brilliance as opposed to novelty and effect. Along with a compelling sense of form, he also displayed a dazzling handling of canon, invertible counterpoint, melodic retrograde and inversion, and other contrapuntal techniques. The traditional forms of sonata, rondo, variation, fugue and passacaglia acquired a distinctive lucidity and compression in his hands. One can readily discern in his music an engineer’s concern for formal precision, a painter’s care for colouristic detail and a violist’s attention to inner voices." Howard Pollack in Grove Music Online. The Symphony No. 2 received a New York Music Critics' Circle award. (22381) $350 From the Symphony No. 6 107. PISTON, Walter 18941976 Symphony No. 6. Autograph musical quotation signed and inscribed "Greetings to Alan from Walter Piston." 4 measures from the beginning of the composer’s Symphony No. 6, one of Piston’s most popular works. Notated in black ink in treble clef on one staff, with a dynamic marking of mezzo forte. Marked Fluendo espressivo (Symphony no. 6) below quotation. On pre-printed staff paper, ca. 86 x 159 mm. Slightly browned; minor remnants of adhesive to margins of verso. Together with a vintage bust-length photograph of the composer in profile, seated in front of a score, 176 x 127 mm. "Piston composed the symphony to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He dedicated the score to the memory of Serge Koussevitzky and his wife Natalie. The symphony was first performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Charles Munch, on November 25, 1955." Howard Pollack: Walter Piston, p. 117 (via Wikipedia online). (26811) $325

From the Song Cycle 108. PRIMOSCH, James 1956"From the Book of Hours." Autograph musical manuscript signed, ca. 1994. Full score of an early chamber version of the first movement of the song cycle. Folio. Unbound. 9 pp. Scored for soprano, flute, percussion and piano. Notated in ink on 14-stave Passantino music manuscript paper. With text by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). Several corrections in white-out. An attractively notated score. Commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and first performed in the orchestral version in 2002. The present version "was prepared for a reading session at the Marlboro Music Festival in 1994." With a letter from the composer. "When honoring him with its Goddard Lieberson Fellowship, the American Academy of Arts and Letters noted that 'A rare economy of means and a strain of religious mysticism distinguish the music of James Primosch... Through articulate, transparent textures, he creates a wide range of musical emotion.' Andrew Porter stated in The New Yorker that Primosch 'scores with a sure, light hand' and critics for the New York Times, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Dallas Morning News have characterized his music as 'impressive,' 'striking,' 'grandly romantic,' 'stunning' and 'very approachable.'

One of America’s Most Important Film Composers 109. RAKSIN, David 1912-2004 A small group of autograph musical manuscripts for alto and tenor saxophone in the hand of the noted film composer. 1930s or later. 1. Fair copy of tenor saxophone chorus part of three standards arranged (not composed) by Raksin. Folio (319 x 241 mm.). 3 pp. of a bifolium. Notated in ink on 12-stave music paper Parchment Brand No. 3 issued by Belwin Inc, New York. P. 1: Nobody's Sweetheart now, dated September 1931; p. 2: Some of These Days, dated Sept. 1931; p. 3: Dinah, dated August, 1931 at conclusion. With inscription to head of p. 1: To the best Tenor Sax Man I know. Tony from Dave Raksin, signed again and dated Sept. 27, 1931 at foot. Somewhat browned and soiled, especially at spine. Slightly frayed at edges; minor paper repair. 2. 1st alto saxophone part for Sapphire. Octavo (242 x 172 mm.). 2ff. written on one side only. Notated in pencil on 10-stave music paper Clarke's Music Tablet issued by Theodore Presser Co., Philadelphia. Incomplete; part breaks off at the end of p. 2 after 85 measures. No signature or date. Stapled at upper left corner; creased and frayed at edges. 3. Tenor saxophone part (in B-flat) of an arrangement of Frédéric Chopin's Prelude op. 28 no. 4 in E minor. Folio (319 x 241 mm.). Notated in ink on one side of the leaf only on 12-stave music paper. The part is written out twice, with minimal differences: in the second version, some enharmonic spellings have been corrected, but a p[iano] and smorz. in the final measures are lacking. The first version is quite clear, but the heading, Prelude – Chopin E. Minor is written in haste and the instrument not specified. The second version, headed Tenor Sax Prelude – E Minor Chopin, bears all signs of a fair copy. No signature or date. Minor repair to left edge. 4. 1 page, in all likelihood for tenor saxophone. Folio (ca. 320 x 240 mm). Notated in ink on 12stave music paper paginated 6 at upper left corner. First staff: conclusion of an unknown piece in 4/4 time with a key signature of four sharps. Second staff: blank, headed Train from the West. Staves 3-12: [?]entire part for Train from the West (double bar at the end). Various verbal cues to other parts in both pencil and ink; notational corrections in pencil, partially erased; rehearsal numbers 32-35 in red pencil framed in blue. No signature or date. Most probably used for conducting; frequent changes of tempo suggest that the fragment belongs to a film score. Slightly worn and creased; laid down to styrofoam with dark gray mat.

Nobody's Sweetheart Now, a 1923 song by a team of authors including Elmer Schoebel (18961970), is a pop standard. The other two songs are considered jazz standards: Some of These Days was written by Shelton Brooks (1886-1975) and popularized by Sophie Tucker's 1911 recording; Dinah, by Harry Akst (1894-1963) was first introduced in 1923 and remained highly popular throughout the 1920s and 1930s. Train from the West is most likely from a film score; the style of manuscript and the quality of paper of "Sapphire" suggest that this fragment belongs to an unknown arrangement from Raksin's very early years. "Mr. Raksin began piano lessons at 6 but later switched to the saxophone. At 12, he was leading a small dance band, which he expanded in high school for broadcasting on the local CBS station. He taught himself orchestration in high school and while majoring in music composition at the University of Pennsylvania played in society bands and radio orchestras." The Los Angeles Times, August 9, 2004, obituary for Raksin by Dennis McLellan. "In 1935 Raksin went to Hollywood to work with Charlie Chaplin on the music for Modern Times. This collaboration yielded one of the most effective original scores ever written for a silent film... Raksin settled permanently in Los Angeles in 1937, working in the Hollywood studios as a composer, arranger and/or orchestrator and studying privately with Schoenberg. Raksin's unusually complex textures and harmonies typecast him as a specialist in horror films and mystery, but he was adept in other genres, including westerns and comedies. In the early 1940s Raksin was employed at Fox, for whom he wrote the score to Laura (1944). One of his most original and enduring works, the film's reputation as a classic owes much to the haunting score; at its heart is Raksin's elusive melody for the title character which, remarkably, is never completed. The theme was a great popular success as a song (lyrics by Johnny Mercer), became a jazz standard and is one of the most performed and recorded of all film themes... Raksin worked regularly as a film composer until the early 1970s; his body of about 100 scores includes perhaps some 20 works that rank among Hollywood's very best..." Martin Marks in Grove Music Online. Rare autograph examples dating from the early years of one of America's most important film composers.

111. RAWSTHORNE, Alan 1905-1971 2nd Piano Concerto. Autograph musical quotation as part of a letter signed to the Colombian musicologist Otto de Greiff. 1 page. Quarto. Dated August 22, 1953. On personal letterhead with Rawsthorne's Saffron Walden address to head. The composer thanks de Greiff for his kind letter and writes “I am so glad you like the second piano concerto. Here are a few notes from the last movement." Rawsthorne then pens a two-bar autograph musical quotation from the work. Creased at folds; very slightly browned; minor foxing. An English composer, "it was not until the 1938 ISCM Festival in London that [Rawsthorne] achieved wide recognition with the Theme and Variations for two violins. At the 1939 festival, in Warsaw, a far more ambitious score, the Symphonic Studies, demonstrated his mastery of orchestral resources, while in the same year the First Piano Concerto (in its original version, with strings and percussion) confirmed the achievement of a highly individual language and certain structural predilections; both were to remain remarkably constant throughout the rest of his career... In a historical perspective of 20th-century English composition this unostentatious yet finely wrought music deserves an honourable place." Peter Evans in Grove Music Online. (20677) $150

The Only Known Autograph of the Work 116. RUBINSTEIN, Nikolay 1835-1881 [Op. 14]. Tarentelle. Autograph musical manuscript for piano, two hands. [1861]. Oblong folio (325 x 255 mm). Disbound. 8 pp. on two bifolia. Notated in black ink on 10-stave music paper. First leaf extended at lower margin with a ca. 23 mm. strip of paper laid down carrying an additional system (eight measures) of music; verso of extension blank. With numerous annotations in different hands, in pencil, blue pencil, red crayon, and purple ink. Autograph caption to upper right corner of first page: Tarentelle comp. par N. Rubinstein. Tempo to upper left corner: Presto. Heading Tarantella to beginning of fifth system (m. 33). Unsigned. Literals in pencil, in all likelihood in the hand of the editor or engraver: Tarentelle to head of first page; Nicolas Rubinstein, Op. 14. Stich Wie[…] to left margin; Verlag und Eigenthum von Bartholf Senff to lower margin in pencil, barely legible. Literals in blue pencil: herunterst[…] to p. 2; in red crayon: one illegible word to first system (?"Richtmaß"). Engraver's markup for layout of plates in pencil, apparently in two layers. Notational corrections in blue pencil and red crayon. Fol: 6286 in purple ink to upper left corner of first page. Somewhat worn, soiled and browned; creased at folds; repairs to extension of first leaf. The only known autograph of Rubinstein's Tarentelle, the composer’s most popular work, and the only one to have been published in multiple modern editions. Unlike his older brother Anton, Nikolay Rubinstein composed relatively little music. Pazdírek, Vol. xxvi, p. 662, lists about 20 works, all for piano.

The annotation to the foot of page 1 identifies the manuscript as the engraver's copy for the first edition, published by Bartholf Senff in Leipzig (PN 287; [1861]). The annotation is barely legible, but identical to the annotation to the foot of the first page of the autograph of Rubinstein's Polka, op. 15, at the Morgan Library, New York (Cary 578). Senff's first edition has 13 pages of music, while the engraver's markup to the present manuscript indicates a total of 19 pages. Presently, the only known editions with 19 pages are those of the four-hand arrangement. It is possible that the numbers refer to Senff's later four-hand edition; the present manuscript, however, does not contain any hint of the massive additions to the musical text (such as octave doublings) characteristic of the four-hand version. The Jurgenson edition for four hands (PN 6112, from the 1890s, accessible via IMSLP) does not include the notational corrections to the present copy but does include the eight extra measures found on the extension of the first leaf. "Russian pianist, conductor, teacher, and arts administrator, [Nikolay Rubinstein, brother of Anton Rubinstein] studied piano with Theodor Kullak and Alexandre Villoing in Moscow and theory with Siegfried Dehn in Berlin... One of the greatest pianists of the second half of the nineteenth century, he mostly performed in Moscow. He championed Russian music and premiered many works by Tchaikovsky, who dedicated his First Symphony and Second Piano Concerto... to Rubinstein; on Rubinstein's death, he composed his Piano Trio 'to the memory of a great artist.' Balakirev dedicated his Islamey to Nikolay Rubinstein [who premiered it in St. Petersburg in 1869]. Rubinstein also contributed to the emergence of a Russian school of conducting. He premiered Tchaikovsky's first four symphonies, Romeo and Juliet... and Eugene Onegin. He was one of the founders of the Moscow branch of the Russian Musical Society, whose concerts he conducted from 1860, and of the Moscow Conservatory (1866). His most famous students were Sergey Taneyev and Alexander Siloti." Muzykal'nyi entsiklopedicheskii slovar', 1990. "It is difficult to say which [of the Rubinstein brothers] was the better pianist. In every way as different as the brothers were in personal appearance—the one dark, almost to blackness; the other vary fair—so different was their playing. The playing of Nicholas [Nikolay] was more like that of Tausig, only warmer and more impulsive. Perhaps Anton Rubinstein was the more inspired player of the two, but he was unequal. Nicholas never varied; his playing both in private and in public was always the same, and he kept up the same standard of excellence." Emil von Sauer: Harold Schonberg The Great Pianists, p. 279. Rubinstein's most notable appearance abroad was at the Exposition Universelle in Paris on 1878, where he conducted several concerts and played Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. The only holding of Nikolay Rubinstein manuscripts within North America is that of his op. 15 at the Morgan Library cited above. His autograph manuscripts are exceedingly rare to the market.

Sauret, a French violinist and composer, is best known for his studies for unaccompanied violin, but the third entrance of the theme lies below the range of the instrument. "Little is known about his training as a violinist... [He] was one of the most characteristic representatives of the Franco-Belgian school of violin playing. He possessed a transcendental technique, a rich and individual tone and a very expressive vibrato... As a composer, he was influenced by the German theorist Jadassohn, whom he had known in Leipzig.

"Scarlatti’s chamber cantatas reveal perhaps more strikingly than any other class of his works his unbroken continuity with preceding phases of the Baroque era and his separation from the following period. With more than 600 known cantatas for which his authorship is reasonably certain and well over 100 others less reliably attributed to him, he is clearly the most prolific cantata composer. These works crown the history of a genre which over more than a century of vigorous growth held a rank second only to opera; indeed contemporaries generally placed it above opera in refinement and regarded it as the supreme challenge to a composer’s artistry. Scarlatti was among the last to contribute significantly to its literature."

and a 1-1/2 page printed commentary by the composer discussing the background of the work and briefly describing the music: "I should say, however, that as I was working on the last movement, I found myself thinking as much about the fox as about the hunting hounds. This, coupled with the fact that I recently acquired a recording of background music from the old movie serials that I used to go to as a kid, probably accounts for the quite ungentlemanly, almost lurid quality of the chase music." "Thurber's Dogs was commissioned for the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus and the Thurber House to commemorate the 100th birthday anniversary of author James Thurber. It was completed on August 13, 1994.

An attractive manuscript. The complete manuscript of the unpublished original version for voice and piano, with some significant differences from the later version for piano and orchestra (1908), first published (in piano reduction) by A. Zunz Mathot in 1910. The autograph of the orchestral version is at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. On March 13, 1909 the Société Nationale de Musique presented a program of eight orchestral works, all of which were being heard for the first time. Of Tristesse, the fifth work, Ravel opined: "Amid all this, Schmitt seemed like an intruder, with his noble inspiration and musical line, his sumptuous and delicate orchestration: everything that the others lacked..." (Letter to Cipa Godebski, dated March 14, 1909). Ravel and Schmitt were lifelong friends. Orenstein: A Ravel Reader, pp. 103-104. The original dedicatee, Marguerite de Saint-Marceaux (1850-1930; née Jourdain), was the wife of the sculptor René de Saint-Marceaux, and hostess of a famed Parisian music salon frequented by Ravel, Debussy, and other composers. Schmitt dedicated the published version of Tristesse to Madame Jane Engel-Bathori (1877-1970), a noted French mezzo-soprano. "In a time when many composers embraced Impressionism, [Schmitt's] music, albeit influenced by Debussy, was admired for its energy, dynamism, grandeur, and virility, for its union of French clarity and German strength... Schmitt was considered a pioneer during his lifetime, rejected by some and embraced by others for a style that influenced and helped prepare for later innovations by Stravinsky, Ravel, Honegger and Roussel."

Schnittke is often considered to be the successor to Shostakovich as Russia's premiere composer. His early music showed the strong influence of Dmitri Shostakovich, but he went on to adopt a very polystylistic approach to composition. As his health worsened, however, he adopted a somewhat bleaker but more accessible style; some Schnittke scholars have argued, in fact, that it is the composer's late works that will ultimately be considered as the most influential of his entire output.

In very good condition overall. Together with a printed edition of the full score published by Sikorski in ca. 1995. Designed as a tribute to the composer on his 60th birthday, the Sinfonisches Vorspiel was first performed at the Musikhalle in Hamburg on November 6, 1994 with the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester, conducted by Albrecht, the dedicatee; the composer was unfortunately unable to attend due to ill-health. Schnittke moved to Hamburg in 1990 to teach composition at the Hochschule fĂźr Musik und Theater. He had had his first stroke in 1985; he suffered a second in 1991 and yet another in the year of composition of the present work, 1994, which left him almost completely paralyzed. He went on to write only a few more short works thereafter, and also a Ninth Symphony, but its score was almost completely illegible because he was forced by his paralysis to notate it with his left hand.

"Schönberg's Piano Concerto, op. 42, which was originally commissioned by his former student Oscar Levant, is conceived as a single-movement form displaying the characteristics of a multimovement sonata cycle. Like the program of the concerto it divides into four parts. The opening melody of the Concerto, lasting thirty-nine bars, presents the four modes of the tone row in the following order: basic set, inversion of retrograde, retrograde, and inversion... The manuscript includes the four parts of the programme (which - according to Schönberg scholarship - is clearly autobiographical), each accompanied by a musical example from one of the four sections of the concerto. The first statement of the programme [is] 'Life was so easy.' " Website of the Arnold Schönberg Center, Vienna. (24408) $3,500 Important Sources for Two Schumann Songs 125.

Evidence in support of this view is the similarity to Chopin's Nocturne in G Minor (a composer after whom Schumann often modelled

himself) and a quotation from Beethoven's An die Ferne Geliebte, dear to Schumann. This quotation occurs at the words "Ob sie heimisch ist hinieden." Its simple melodic line is supported by a simple accompaniment. In a modulation to F major, dreamy and full of longing, Schumann hints at something not related to the poem: happiness has been found." "In Halm's Geisternähe (Your Spirit Near, Op. 77, No. 3) Schumann again returns to a subject that occupied him from time to time throughout his life: the beloved one's marriage to another. This song, as with many of his later songs, shows but slight identification of the composer with the texts being set. His nervous, overly sensitive psyche at best supplied an elegiac echo. This detachment seems to reflect the composer's growing withdrawal, eventually leading to silence and escape." Fischer-Dieskau: Robert Schumann Words and Music, pp. 178-179. The two songs were first published by Whistling in Leipzig in 1851 in Volume 3 of the anthology Robert Schumann: Lieder und Gesänge. The manuscripts of both songs show considerable evidence of the composer's compositional process and are important sources for the works. (25398) $85,000

measures of the beginning of the Kyrie. Scored for mixed chorus, vibraphone, xylophone, bongos, tam-tam, and two pianos. With autograph signature to lower right margin. The Missa Latina, composed in 2006, was commissioned by the National Symphony Orchestra. The work is scored for soprano and baritone soloists, SATB chorus, and orchestra. The present excerpt appears to be part of a 2-piano reduction. "[Born in Puerto Rico], Sierra continued his studies abroad, first at the RCM (1976–8) and then at the Institute for Sonology in Utrecht (1978–9). From 1979 to 1982, he worked with Ligeti at the Hamburg Hochschule für Musik... [In 1992], he began to teach at Cornell University. As Sierra's style has evolved, he has synthesized European modernism - with Ligeti, he developed an abstract thought process - with elements of Puerto Rican and Latin American folksong, jazz, salsa and African rhythms, a process he calls ‘tropicalization’."

In the Hand of Paganini’s Pupil, Camillo Sivori 127. SIVORI, Camillo 1815-1894 Etendue du Violon. Autograph musical quotation signed. 4 measures encompassing the range of the violin. Notated on a large oblong octavo leaf (167 x 227 mm.) and inscribed A mon collègue [!] et bon ami A. Fischer... Camillo Sivori Paris 17 Février 1882. Very slightly foxed; slight abrasion to right-hand edge. Sivori "studied violin with Paganini's former teacher Giacomo Costa... Between October 1822 and May 1823 Paganini was in Genoa, and, favourably struck by the young violinist, decided to give him lessons... Paganini regarded Sivori as the only pupil for whose formation he was responsible ('the only person who can call himself my pupil', he wrote in 1828)... His virtuoso repertory was based principally on his own compositions and those of Paganini, but unlike his teacher, Sivori also became an exceptional performer of Classical and early Romantic chamber music... A stylish composer, who displayed a lovely melodic vein, Sivori composed around 60 pieces." Flavio Menardi Noguera in Grove Music Online. (16360) $450

Titles include El Merengaso; El Torero; Manuel; Himno del Riff; La Rubita; La Juanita; El Delirio; Las Malagueñas; El Bartolillo; La Palmera; La Flor de la Canela; La Colasa; Mi Chay; Sevillanas; and Una mañana de primavera. Although the pieces appear to be folk songs from various Spanish-speaking countries (including Spain, Mexico, Peru, and El Salvador), the music paper is of English origin, and the transcriber writes title pages and other directions primarily in English. Las Malagueñas is a well-known traditional Huapango song from Mexico. El Bartolillo originates from El Salvador. La Flor de la Canella was originally a Peruvian waltz. Sevillanas, a type of folk music and dance from Seville, is derived from the Seguidilla, an old Castilian genre which was influenced by Flamenco in the 19th century. (26656) $375 130.

From Szymanowski’s Symphony No. 4, Op. 60 132. SZYMANOWSKI, Karol 1882-1937 Symphonie concertante (Symphony No. 4, Op. 60). Autograph musical quotation signed in full. 2 measures on one staff with treble clef, 3/4 time signature, and key signature of one flat. With autograph titling Symphonie Concertante to upper margin. Notated on a partial album leaf, ca. 73 x 149 mm. Signed and dated London, October 29, 1934 in dark blue ink. With the autograph signature of noted German soprano Ria Ginster (1898-1985) in black ink to verso. Slightly worn and soiled; verso with minor wear, brief annotation in pencil, and remnants of transparent tape to margins. The Symphonie Concertante, for solo piano and orchestra, premiered in Poznań on October 9, 1932, with the composer at the piano. Although he dedicated it to the great pianist Anton Rubinstein, Szymanowski intended to perform the piece himself, on as many stages as possible, to earn money. He therefore "shaped the solo part with a view to his own performance capabilities, adjusting it to his hand; hence, the work is very different from the typical 'pianism' of contemporary concertos – those by Maurice Ravel or Prokofiev. In order to add brilliance, somewhat lacking in the piano part, Szymanowski increased the role of the orchestra, in a colourful and impressive style... so that the soloists’ figures are constantly being supplemented and “ornamented” by the picturesque and brilliant timbres of the symphonic ensemble, to a degree which goes beyond the usual convention of the concerto form and the idea of a dialogue." karolszymanowski.pl. Szymanowski, a noted Polish pianist and composer, was much influenced by the music of his countryman Chopin, Polish folk music, and a number of other composers including Strauss, Debussy and Ravel.

Used by the engraver for the separate edition of these two mazurkas published as a supplement to Revue musicale 10, issue 4-5 (1929), in which R. Petit published his article Alexandre Tansman (op. cit., pp. 46–54). The entire Recueil de Mazurkas (1918-1928), later counted as 1er recueil (three more followed), was published by Max Eschig, Paris, in 1929. The present mazurka no. 1 is counted "no. 6" in the entire collection; the present “no. 2” (Oberek) is counted "no. 1." "Alexandre Tansman was a French composer and pianist of Polish birth... Disappointed with his reception in Poland, he moved to Paris, giving a début recital in February 1920. Soon after his arrival, he became friendly with Stravinsky and Ravel, both of whom encouraged and advised him... Acquainted with many leading musical figures in Paris during these years, Tansman was part of the circle of foreign musicians, known as the Ecole de Paris, that included Martinů, Alexander Tcherepnin, Conrad Beck and Marcel Mihalovici. While his music retained many distinctively Polish features, such as Mazurka rhythms and Polish folk melodies, and while he wrote collections of polonaises, nocturnes, impromptus, waltzes and other Chopinesque miniatures, neo-classical traits appear in works [from about 1925]... Although he never completely abandoned a diatonic framework, critics of the 1920s and 30s described his harmony at times as Scriabinesque and atonal... Tansman was quick to achieve international success... He settled in Los Angeles in 1941 where he became acquainted with Schoenberg, renewed friendships with other European émigrés, including Milhaud and Stravinsky, and composed a number of film scores. He returned to Paris in 1946." Caroline Rae in Grove Music Online. (25319) $2,500

Stapled. 17, [iii] (blank) pp. Facsimile of autograph manuscript. Copyright note of Editions Max Eschig, Paris, dated 1961, to foot of first page. Creased; rippled; frayed at upper edge. Sabbataï Zevi is the fourth of Tansman's seven operas. The opera received a concert performance on March 3, 1961, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, but has apparently never been staged. Max Eschig, Paris, published a piano-vocal score in 1966. The choral score accompanying the present autograph was most probably created for the 1961 production of the opera. The composer considered Sabbataï Zevi the best of his operas. Like many of Tansman's later works it is based on a distinctly Jewish subject. "Tansman was as adept at writing in C major as he was at composing serially and he made use at different times of atonality and polytonality. The music of his opera Sabbataï Zevi (1953-9), which tells of the rise and fall of the 17th-century mystic, is post-tonal in style."

A curious item. RISM lists no piece with the same music but several with the same text - arias from Giovanni Battista Borghi's Piramo e Tisbe (libretto by Gaetano Sertor), Filippo Maria Gherardeschi's Artaserse, Giuseppe Giordani's L'Acomate, Nicola Zingarelli's La morte de Cesare, etc. The identification of the character as "Piramo" in the present manuscript points to an opera on the subject of Pyramus and Thisbe, using the same libretto as Borghi's; Tarchi, however, has never been credited with such an opera. In addition, Gino dell'Ira's I teatri di Pisa 1773-1986, which chronicles all operatic performances in the city, mentions neither Tarchi nor any opera on the subject of Pyramus and Thisbe; likewise, the singer Pietro Muschietti is not mentioned. The ascription and note on the Pisa performance to the title of the present manuscript are thus somewhat puzzling. The unusual division of the violas might offer a clue to the authorship of the work upon further research. (26919) $685 137. TAYLOR, Deems 1885-1966 Casanova.

Oblong octavo, 154 x 100 mm. Creased at folds; lightly foxed. An American composer and noted critic, Taylor "was quoted in a New York Times obituary as saying ‘This is the age – not only in America, but all over the world – of the pedant run amuck. The result has been music that has to be explained, and even the explanations are unintelligible except to the initiate’. This aesthetic conviction perhaps explains in part the initial enthusiastic acceptance of Taylor’s work – his number of Metropolitan Opera performances (14 for The King’s Henchman in 1927–9 and 16 for Peter Ibbetson in 1931–5) surpasses that of any other American composer, and no native American of his time had more large-scale works published.

“One of the Most Sought-After American Composers” 140. THOMAS, Augusta Read 1964Selene (Moon Chariot Rituals). [Octet for] Percussion Quartet & String Quartet for Third Coast Percussion & JACK Quartet. Autograph sketchleaf signed by the composer. A dynamic graphic performance plan of the entire work, in timed sections embellished with performance directions, instrumental cues, dynamics, programmatic comments, tempo markings, etc. Notated in multiple coloured inks on three separate pieces of paper of varying dimensions taped together. Overall size approximately 31.5" x 8.75". With an autograph note recording the world premiere of the work on March 5, 2015 at the Miller Theatre in New York City and its first performance at the Tanglewood Music Festival on June 25, 2015. Slightly worn; some minor tears; creased at folds. "One of the most sought-after American composers, [Thomas] has fulfilled commissions from Rostropovich (Chanson, 1996; Brass Axis, 1997), the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (Passions, 1998) and the Berlin PO (Aurora, 1999). After leaving her publisher, Theodore Presser Co., in 1997, Thomas withdrew most of her prodigious catalogue, leaving a core of only 23 works." "Selene... is scored for the unusual combination of string quartet and percussion quartet, and specifically for a collaboration between two of the more intrepid and adventurous performing groups in the country today: the JACK Quartet and Third Coast Percussion... In classical mythology, Selene was the moon's charioteer, as Helios was the sun's. Selene (Moon Chariot Rituals) develops a narrative arc that features the string quartet and percussion quartet as opposed ensembles; as individual personalities in solo roles against the rest of the ensemble; and as a kind of meta-quartet, the two groups melding their timbres as closely as possible. The beginning of the piece establishes frenetic, unstable energy, which levels out and calms briefly before locking into propulsive, dancing motion. Kaleidoscopic combinations of instrumental colors focus our attention alternatively on rhythm or pitch, with brief moments of repose." musicsalesclassical.com/composer/work.

An interesting and attractive diagrammatic layout of a series of chords, divided into four sections marked Prime, Tops, Middles and Outline, with arrows clearly designating which notes correspond to each category. Notated in multiple coloured inks on 22-stave Judy Green Music paper. With an autograph note to foot: Chords from Words of the Sea for orchestra. Commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Pierre Boulez, conducting. Slightly worn; creased at central fold. "Thomas's output has had two strands: complex, dramatic large-scale works and smaller educational works, all withdrawn in 1997. Her melodies are based on the expansion and contraction of three- or four-note cells, either by adding notes or by altering intervals. Often appearing without substantial accompaniment or counterpoint, these melodies are instead embellished harmonically or are sustained, creating a harmonic canvas over which further melodic material is overlaid. Quintuplets and triplets dominate an often slow, fluid forward momentum. In the later large-scale works, especially Words of the Sea (1996), Thomas has introduced additional complexity in texture and orchestration as well as a welldefined rhythmic drive and faster tempos. Words of the Sea, in 4 movements inspired by the poem by Wallace Stevens entitled "The Idea of Order at Key West," was composed in 1995.

diverse compositions characterized by expressive directness and textural transparency, written in a language that drew from hymnbook harmony, popular song, and dance idioms of the late 19th century, and utilizing plain-spoken tonal procedures but also diatonic dissonance and polytonal elements.

TIPPETT, Sir Michael 1905-1998 Dance, Clarion Air, A Madrigal for Five Voices, with text by Christopher Fry. Copyist’s manuscript. 9, [i] (blank) pp. Large folio. Scored for a mixed choir of sopranos, mezzo-soprano, altos, tenors, and basses with piano accompaniment. Carefully notated in black ink in a professional hand, possibly intended for either performance or publication. Undated, but most likely contemporary to the period of composition, i.e., 1952. Slightly worn and browned; some small tears and chips to edges; corners creased; splitting at spine. "[Tippett's] importance lies not only in his revitalizing contribution to the genres of symphony, concerto, opera, string quartet and sonata, but also in his awareness displayed in his writings as well as his compositional practice of the complexities of the modern condition and the artist’s role in relation to this... In his first period the salvage and regeneration of materials and aesthetic conceptions from the past most particularly elements of the English Renaissance and Baroque, and Beethoven – was central." David Clarke in Grove Music Online. "Renowned for his involvement in political radicalism, and for his pacifist views, Tippett was never a purely musical person. Rather, he was a man of ideas who chose music as the best medium to express them. In 1952, along with ten of the country's most eminent composers, Tippett was commissioned by the Arts Council of Great Britain to write a madrigal, as part of an anthology of unaccompanied choral pieces marking the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The anthology, titled A Garland for the Queen, was deliberately modelled on The Triumphs of Oriana, a multi-author collection of madrigals which had been compiled in honour of Queen Elizabeth I. Set to the words of his friend Christopher Fry, Tippett’s contribution was this Dance, Clarion Air. It is a contemporary madrigal, but one that recaptures the rhythmic and contrapuntal vitality of its Renaissance counter-parts." Jamesdavey.org. (21846) $85

Set to a Herman Melville Poem 145. TSONTAKIS, George 1951Bluebird. A setting for two female voices with instrumental accompaniment of Herman Melville's poem. Autograph musical manuscript. Signed and dated 2007. A complete working draft. 5 pp. Folio (355 x 280 mm.). Notated in pencil with additional markings in coloured ink. Tsontakis studied with Hugo Weisgall, Felix Greissle and Roger Sessions. His honours include the Charles Ives Living Award, the Grawemeyer, two Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards (1989, 1992), a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1995), a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1996) and numerous commissions. "[His] early works are written in a dissonant chromatic idiom not unlike that of Sessions. His musical language soon shifted, however, towards a classically-influenced style characterized by large-scale harmonic prolongations and what he calls 'the timeless gesture', a reference to the past through evocation rather than quotation. With the String Quartet no. 3 'Carragio' (1986) he arrived at an idiosyncratic tonal language propelled by a non-minimalist, Beethovenian use of repetition. Another primary feature of his work, particularly notable in the Byzantium Kanon (1986) and Stabat mater (1990), is the influence of sacred music of the Greek Orthodox church. Secular folk music of the same region figures prominently in the oratorio Erotokritos (1982) and other works." Eric Moe in Grove Music Online. (20047) $2,500

146. ?VALENTATTI, Antonio fl. early 19th century and Carlo COCCIA 1782-1873 Tema Albanese Variaziono per Arpa, Terzino di Flauto Violino, a Basso Espressamente Composte per L'Egregio Sig.r Conte Gaetano Balleani.

[i] (title), 22, [i] (blank) pp. Signature to lower right corner of title: D' Antonio Valentatti. Systems of five staves. The work (in F major) consists of an introduction, the theme, five numbered variations, an unnumbered Allegretto, a four-measure reminiscence of the theme marked Andante, and a brief coda marked Allegro. Occasional small stains and smudges; some show-through. With Sonata per Arpa Flauto e Fagotto Ridotta Dalla Clotilde di Coccia Espresamente per l'Egregio Sir Conte Gaetano Balleani. Small oblong folio. 1f. (title), 7, [iii] (blank) pp. Notated in ink on 12-staves per page. Signature to lower right corner of title: D' Antonio Valentatti. Systems of four staves. The work (in E-flat major) has two movements. Coccia to head of first page of music (= first movement); Valentatti to head of fifth page of music (= second movement). Small stains to title. We have been unable to locate any information on Valentatti. The opera Clotilde by Carlo Coccia (1782-1873) was first performed in 1815, allowing for a tentative date of the sonata. The key of E-flat major suggests that it was written for the singleaction harp, which was tuned in that key. Gaetano Balleani (also Gaetano Guglielmi Baldeschi, 1790-1831) was Count of Jesi, Italy. His name does not figure in the standard reference works, but he was allegedly a professional musician and took an interest in harps: "Don Antonio [Spontini, the composer's brother] started from 1818 a system of mail-order of harps and piano, by which the Erard Factory in Paris manufactured instruments for direct sale to the Marche Don Antonio collecting whatever profits accrued. A typical buyer was Count Gaetano Balleani, music professor, who asked for "the best harp ever produced at the Erards' factory."

From a collection of twelve trios for two violins and basso published as Fantasie musicali... opera terza by Giovanni Giacomo Komarek in Rome in 1706 (RISM V107) and republished by Estienne Roger in Amsterdam (RISM V108 and V109). The mention of "opera Terza" in the present manuscript suggests that the manuscript is based on one of these editions. "What characterizes Valentini's instrumental writing is on the one hand a continual attempt to surprise the listener with something new, original or fantastic, and on the other an apparent difficulty to free himself from the model supplied by the work of Corelli and followed by his contemporaries. The titles of the printed collections (Bizzarrie per camera, Fantasie musicali, Idee per camera, Villeggiature armoniche), but more especially their character (which is indeed sometimes bizarre), seem to indicate Valentini's determination to be different from Corelli and his imitators, and to offer an alternative to them."

The second, dated November 14, 1921, inquires about royalties Damrosch sent to Camille Saint-Saëns and Ralph Vaughan Williams; the writer wants to adjust Damrosch's French bank account; bank receipt (Morgan, Harjes & Co, Paris), dated July 8, 1921, is attached. Unrecorded and presumably unpublished. The texts are by Henry Rutherford Elliot (18491906), a journalist in New York, and Edwin Markham (1852-1940), an American poet. "Laugh it off!" is a humorous song in a popular style; The Manger Song of Mary is a lullaby in a more sophisticated style. The correspondence suggests that both of Vidal's songs were slated for publication by Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge in 1923; the scribal copies were most likely intended as engraver's copies. One of the poets (Elliot), however, was no longer alive; there are no materials in the present collection mentioning his heirs. In any case, the SACEM forms (also Markham's) remained unsigned. The publication stalled, and the songs were apparently never published. A French conductor, teacher and composer, "Vidal is particularly remembered as a fine teacher

An Apparently Unpublished Version of the Composer’s Own Arrangement 150. VIOTTI, Giovanni Battista 1755-1824 Sonata in Eb Major for solo keyboard. Autograph musical manuscript. The complete work. No date, but ca. 1782 or later. Folio (ca. 300 x 230 mm.). Unbound. [1] (title), [2]-[8] pp. Notated in ink on 16-stave music manuscript paper. The work is in three movements, the first, marked Allegro, in 82 measures; the second 70 measures; and the third, marked Rondeau Allegretto, in 210 measures. 14 measures cancelled. Overpaste corrections to a total of 10 measures, with several additional corrections. The present manuscript is Viotti's arrangement of his Sonata for Violin and Bass (Giazotto no. 36), composed in Paris in 1782. While there are published editions of the version for violin and bass (see RISM V1940-V1946), there do not appear to be any published editions of this version for keyboard. A highly distinguished Italian violinist and composer, Viotti is regarded as "the most influential violinist between Tartini and Paganini and the last great representative of the Italian tradition stemming from Corelli. He is considered the founder of the ‘modern’ (19th-century) French school of violin playing, and his compositions, among the finest examples of Classical violin music, exerted a strong influence on 19th-century violin style."

Wagner composed this piece for the solemn reinterment of Carl Maria von Weber's remains in Dresden on December 15, 1844. Weber had originally been buried in London, where he died in 1826. Wagner and others fought for the "repatriation" of the body. "After we had placed the coffin in the little mortuary chapel of the Catholic cemetery in [Dresden-]Friedrichstadt... we proceeded the following morning to lower it formally into the vault we had prepared... The ceremony closed with the performance of a poem I had written and set to music, and though it presented many difficulties for a male chorus, the combined efforts of our best opera singers achieved a splendid rendition."

"Wolf had compiled collections or cycles of his songs and tried to have them published a number of times. He was successful only in early 1888 with his Sechs Lieder für eine Frauenstimme. For this compilation he selected compositions from various periods: Morgentau ([HWW] 101|1; June 1877)..., Das Vöglein (101|2) and Die Spinnerin (101|3; both spring 1878), MausfallenSprüchlein (101|6); June 1882) and the two Wiegenlieder (101|4 and 101|5; December 1882).”

- 57 -

"Before the completion of the Wiegenlieder, Wolf had compiled a volume of four songs as a presentation copy... for Paula Goldschmidt as she had often performed the MausfallenSprüchlein in Viennese salons: 'Among other things, she also sings the Mausfallen-Sprüchlein, which I composed for Mitz [i.e., Mitzi Werner] who didn't consider it worth looking at while Frau Paula von Goldschmidt is celebrating triumphs with it at parties. She doesn't sing anything but my Mausfallensprüchlein anymore; I have also dedicated it to her' ([Wolf] to Bertha von Lackhner, October 10, 1882)." Jestremski p. 126. "The endearing little Morgentau [Morning dew] [was] the earliest of his compositions that Wolf, at the time of his maturity, still thought good enough for publication... The playful Vöglein [Little bird], with its chirruping, fluttering accompaniment, so beautifully written for the piano... strikes a perfectly individual note of fresh, delicate humour that we recognize as peculiarly Wolfian... Die Spinnerin [The spinner], a delightful character-sketch of a young girl conscious of the stirring of the spring... has the same lightness of touch and beauty of workmanship... Mausfallensprüchlein [Mouse-trap incantation] [is] a little song... to be sung while walking three times around a mouse-trap. Its practical value as an aid to trap, cat, and poison has yet to be proved, but regarded from a purely artistic standpoint the Mausfallensprüchlein is simply enchanting. So sprightly and delicate a sense of humour had hardly before found expression in music. The tiny piece scurries by with inimitable youthful grace - an authentic Wolfian masterpiece in miniature." Walker: Hugo Wolf, pp. 47, 63-64, 131. The dedicatee, singer Paula (von) Goldschmidt (née Kunz, born 1854), was the wife of composer Adalbert von Goldschmidt, (1848-1906).

156. ANON. [Caption title:] Atto Secondo Terzetto. Musical manuscript short score. Late 18th century. Oblong quarto (300 x 220 mm.). 21, [i] (blank) pp. Notated in ink on 10-stave paper. Note to the right of caption title: Prima Donna Virginia; note to beginning of music: Rec:uo; note to end of music: Fine Dell'atto Secondo. A scene in recitative and a terzetto. Recitative notated on two-stave systems: upper staff for all vocal parts, lower for instrumental bass (not figured). The recitative has five participants: Virginia, Icilio, Appio, Publio, and Lucio. Except for Lucio (tenor clef), all parts use soprano clef. Note at end of recitative: Segue Terzetto. Terzetto notated on four-stave systems: Virginia (soprano), Icilio (soprano castrato), Lucio (tenor), and instrumental bass. In B-flat major. Some soiling to edges; staining to upper edge of final leaves; first leaf partially detached; second leaf of outer bifolium, presumably blank, torn away; folio 6 creased at upper outer corner. We have been unable to identify the opera from which this excerpt is taken. The characters Virginia, Icilio, and Lucio and, in the recitative, also Publio and Appio - point to an opera on the ancient Roman story of Virginia (also spelled Verginia) as told by Livy in Ab Urbe Condita. The eighteenth century produced quite a few operas on that subject. In the early decades, Silvio Stampiglia's libretto La caduta dei Decemviri was set by several composers (first by Alessandro Scarlatti, 1697), but the present manuscript uses a different libretto. Between 1785 and 1798, operas entitled Virginia by Angelo Tarchi, Gioacchino Albertini, Gaetano Andreozzi, Felice Alessandri, and Vincenzo Federici emerged, to various libretti. In addition, there is an opera Icilio e Virginia by Ferdinando Paer (1793). The present manuscript omits all instrumental parts except the bass line. It was thus most probably either a director's score for the keyboard player or, more likely, an aid for the singer(s) in the learning of their parts; the note, "Prima Donna Virginia," could signify that the manuscript was written specifically for the singer cast in the role of Virginia.

The present manuscript initially consisted of seven dances, each carefully notated in the hand of the same copyist to the inner pages of a bifolium, all in 3/4 time: - Polonaise in C major - Valz Liegeois in G major - Valz in F major (no time signature but 3/4 implied) - Valz Tirolien in D major - Valz par L. [?]Sehin a Spa 1814 in G major

- Valz in C major - Valz in F major. Manuscript copy at Universitätsbibliothek Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (collection Esl VIII 329; RISM ID no.: 450202152). The blank outer pages of the first three bifolia were later notated with additional waltzes in a different, somewhat less careful hand. Some of these works are rather sketchy and contain a number of errors, suggesting that at least some may be autograph. - Waltz in E-flat major, titled Matildhe (twice). Manuscript copy at the University of Texas at Austin (Finney 43; RISM ID no. 000124183), ascribed to Paméla Fitz-Gerald (1831-?). - Valz in G major (without time signature), 3/4 [end unclear] - Valse in F major 3/4 (without time signature) - Valz Mozart in B-flat major - Frankford valz in C major. The spelling "valz" is enigmatic; it is consistently used by the original copyist and also often by the later scribe. As the spelling seems to be incorrect in any language, it does not help to identify the provenance of the present collection. Any other literals in the music beyond "da capo al segno" (original copyist) are in French. "Solo Cors" in the "Valz" no. [6] seems to point to an orchestral model. One piece is associated with the city of Liège, another with the resort of Spa, in roughly the same area of Belgium. (27213) $165 158. ANON. Collection of pieces for piano, two hands. Ca. 1800.

We have been unable to establish either the composer or the scribe. The overall style of writing, with capital F but lowercase p for dynamics (from pp to FF, plus "cres"), occasional use of "8va" and "loco", but sparse articulation and with expressive marks limited to an occasional "dol[ce]", seems to point to ca. 1800. The style is rather simple; the first two pieces are strangely formless (with the first ending on a four-six chord), suggesting that the composer was an amateur. (27179) $225 159. ANON. Five folksongs in French. Musical manuscript. Ca. 1840-50. Small folio (295 x 245 mm). One bifolium. Notated in black ink on 14-stave paper. No watermark. First four songs notated on systems of two staves; fifth song: text only. Top stave (voice): G clef, key signature, time signature; bottom stave (?accompaniment): blank except for barlines. Slightly soiled; occasional corrections in pencil, especially to no. 4. Contents: - Chanson des Voyageurs Canadiens. Text incipit: Mon Père n'avait Fille que moi encor m'envoit il Sur la Mer." G major, 2/4 time. 11 measures. - Text incipit: Mon Père fait faire un Etang. G major, common time. 12 measures. - Text incipit: Derrière chez mon Père vole mon cœur. F major, common time. 12 measures. - Text incipit: Der[r]ière chez mon Père il est un Bois. C major, 6/8 time. 11 measures (notation rhythmically incorrect). - Text written between staves, with addition of music in mind (brace at beginning of first "system"). Text incipit: Der[r]ière chez nous y c'est un Etang. In a different hand. The sketchy notation suggests that these songs were not copied but, rather, jotted down from performance. The addition of an accompaniment was certainly intended. The first song is French Canadian, the others French. They have been notated and published in many versions; the present version of no. 1, however, seems rather unusual. (27188) $85 160. ANON. Alastor, or the Spirit of Solitude as Tone Piece for Piano. Musical manuscript fragment, most likely autograph. Marked Lines 151-191. Early 20th century. Oblong folio (350 x 270 mm).[i] (title and poem), [i] (blank staves), 4 pp. on a bifolium and single leaf. Notated in ink on pre-printed 12-stave paper. With minor corrections. Two-stave systems. 4/4 time; no key signature (beginning in C major); initial tempo: Very slowly. 103 measures in total. Literals mostly in English (except dynamics). Detailed

instructions for the use of both pedals. Heavily browned and frayed at edges, with multiple small tears. Lacking conclusion. An enigmatic composition, most likely of British provenance and almost certainly autograph. The music modulates wildly, but the degree of dissonance is rather moderate, as is the degree of technical difficulty. Based on an excerpt of the poem Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude (1815) by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). (27210) $65 161. ANON. Natum vidimus. Musical manuscript. Late 18th century. Of unknown provenance, but in the Italian tradition. Oblong small folio. Sewn. 7, [i] (blank staves) pp. Signature of two bifolia; second leaf of inner bifolium excised and replaced with new single leaf glued to remnant of original leaf. Notated in black ink on ten-stave paper. Unpaginated. No watermarks. No ascription. Some soiling; small scattered ink stains, one to p. 4 larger. A composing manuscript. Five-stave systems (first 12 measures: two-stave systems; accompaniment only). Parts not identified but implied: three sopranos (each with separate text underlay) and piano. Piano staves marked with G and F clefs, key signature (F major), and time signature (6/8) at the outset; vocal staves unmarked (C1 clefs implied). Left hand staff primarily of piano, right hand staff partially blank. Other parts occasionally sketched on "incorrect" staves: untexted (probably instrumental) parts on Soprano 3 staff in introduction; texted (probably choral) parts on piano staves on p. 6. No double bar at the end, but vocal parts end on a held chord on the tonic after a perfect authentic cadence. Occasional corrections. Incomplete. A setting of the third responsory at Matins for Christmas Day. We have been unable to trace further sources of this composition, possibly never completed. (27203) $175 162. ANON. O salutaris hostia for 2 sopranos and bass a cappella. Musical manuscript score. ?Early 19th century, in the Italian style. Oblong large octavo (295 x 220 mm). Notated in brown ink on 10-stave paper. 3, [i] (blank staves) pp. on a bifolium. No watermark. Three-stavesystems; upper staves in C1 clef, bottom staff in F clef. In E-flat major, 3/4 time. Mostly homophonic. Occasional accidentals added in pencil. Slightly worn, browned; several small stains; large ink stain to almost full margin of first page, with some show-through.

A setting of a Eucharistic hymn. Not in the RISM database. We have unable to identify the present work. (27198) $85 163. ANON. Polka Fiera di Sassuolo 1857. Musical manuscript. Oblong folio (310 x 240 mm). [i] (blank), 2, [i] (blank) pp. on one bifolium. Notated in brown ink on 12-stave paper. No ascription. No watermark. Systems of three staves; scored for two violins and (string) bass. In C major; trio in F major. A fair copy. Slightly browned; occasional small stains. Unrecorded. The Fiera di Sassuolo is an annual fair in the Italian town of the same name, held in October. (26878) $85 164. ANON. Psalm 34 N.V. Musical manuscript, most probably autograph. Late 18th century. British. Small folio (300 x 240 mm). One bifolium (p. 2 blank). Notated in brown ink on 12-stave paper. Watermark: bend. Page 1: Psalm 34 N.V. F major, 3/2 time de facto (although 3/4 is specified). Systems have three braced staves, each carrying one voice with separate text underlay; voices not identified. Top stave (soprano) has G clef, middle stave (tenor) has C4 clef, bottom stave (bass) has F clef. 14 measures. Some corrections to bass part. Page 3: Sketch for an unidentified composition. In D minor, 3/4 time (not specified). Systems have three braced staves, each carrying one unidentified (instrumental?) part. Upper staves have G clef, bottom stave has bass clef. 13 measures. Sketch breaks off without cadence. Isolated chord without clefs or braces to staves 6 and 7 of p. 4. Somewhat soiled; lower outer corner turned. The text, a rhymed paraphrase of Psalm 34 in English, is from the New Version [=N.V.] of the Psalms of David by Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady (1696). Only the first strophe is included in the present manuscript. The music is unknown. Both the Psalm 34 N.V. and the sketch on p. 3 have faulty voice leading, suggesting that the composer was an amateur (a claim further supported by the incorrect time signature). (27186) $75

Apparently Unrecorded 165. ANON. Recitative, Cosa mi dite mai?, and aria, Se alla Donna tu dai fede ecco dici, for bass and orchestra. Musical manuscript full score. Late 18th century. Oblong folio (325 x 230 mm.). Sewn with green silk tape. 29, [i] (blank) pp. Notated in ink on 10-stave paper. Watermarks: AM (?MA) and three crescents. Recitative notated on five-stave systems: [2] Violini, Viola, unspecified voice (bass clef), unspecified instrumental bass (not figured). Note at end of recitative: Siegue subbito. Aria notated on 9-stave systems: [2] Corni in Elafa (=E-flat), [2] Oboe, [2] Violini, Viola, unspecified voice (bass clef), unspecified instrumental bass (not figured). The recitative begins in D major and modulates to E-flat major, the key of the aria. The meter is common time throughout. First page creased and somewhat soiled and stained. Recitative: Cosa mi dite mai? / Dunque [?]Rovina à tutti cor bellato / Lo sguajato Francese / il taciturno Inglese / L'Italiano geloso? / e à presso il buon Tedescho & suo sposo? / Dunque faci ben io quinto carissimo / di starmene a vedere / Oh va benissimo. Aria: Se alla Donna tu dai fede ecco dici / il core io spezzoli / o corbezzoli / Quinto mio non occor altro / fa bisogno esser più scaltro / va benissimo così. / Dunque corbezzoli / ci vuol giudizio / O va benissimo / Torn all'uffizio / non occor altro / per questo di. / Chi mi chiama? Oh che patienza! / Servito sua eccelenza / O corbezzoli, ò capito / dunque io son tradito? / Benissimando / corbezzolando / non occor altro dunque fini. Both music and text apparently unrecorded. We have been unable to identify the opera from which this excerpt is taken. The very distinctive text may offer a clue. A woman (whose name may be read as Rovina or Dorina) is courted by five suitors, each of a different nationality: a Frenchman, an Englishman, an Italian, a German, and the character of the present aria, whose nationality and name remain obscure. The style of the aria, with its peculiar comedic neologisms (such as "benissimando"), points to a basso buffo part. (26942) $550

18th Century Manuscript Treatise on Counterpoint 166. ANON. Regole per Contropunto [!contrappunto]. Manuscript treatise. Late 18th century. Oblong folio (300 x 220 mm.). [i] (title), 191 pp. Notated in ink on 10-stave paper. Watermark: fleur-de-lis in a circle. Incipit of text: Scala da cui s'apprende quante corde, o tuoni ci vogliono performare una 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, e 6a eletanto minore quanto maggiore. Two lines of manuscript text to head of title erased. Occasional stains and smudges. Incomplete. We have been unable to establish the provenance of the treatise. While there is no preface, the treatise starts with the fundamentals of counterpoint, which allows for the assumption that the first page of the manuscript is also the first page of the treatise. The extant 191 pages seem to be continuous. (26949) $2,500
