A working manuscript, with erasures, alterations and cancellations. Together with: A copy of the published full score of the movement, i.e., pp. 107-138, 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."

Niccolò Paganini, Broadside, For This Night Only! The Last Appearance of Signor Paganini! Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Signor Paganini Begs Respectfully to Inform the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public in General, that He Intends Giving One More Concert, Being Positively His Last Appearance in London, Which Will Take Place This Evening, Thursday, August 8th, in the Course of Which He will Perform Some of His Most Established and Popular Pieces. [1833] Measurement: Poster 32.5 cm height x 20 cm width; the mat/mount (hinged at the top) 51 cm x 35.5 cm. Green paper was used for the poster, on a green mount.
Niccolò Paganini (1782 – 1840) is, today, still considered the greatest of all violinists, and his name is synonymous with virtuosity, the highest degree of instrumental accomplishment, having inspired Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Sergei Rachmaninov to use the model of his technical accomplishment (evident from his music) as well as his theme to expand the technique in their own instrumental writing. This broadside was printed on the day of the concert. Its extraordinary survival -- even in its worn condition -- is a testament to the enduring knowledge its owners have all had of Paganini, a legend like none other in the history of Western Music. After 1834, following a diagnosis of cancer of the larynx, Paganini gave very few concerts. As the prices on this broadside announcement indicate, Paganini was paid handsomely this late in his career for his appearances, and accordingly, he left a large fortune to his heirs. He was, at the time of this event, truly a living legend, and, given his Mephistophelean appearance, it was rumored his virtuosity stemmed from Diabolical powers. This ephemeral document is rare not only because it actually mentions the principal performer's name, but because it prints his name in bold no fewer than six times. Divided into three parts, Paganini played in each part, and in the second and third parts, he played his own pieces written for one string alone, concluding Part III, with "God Save the King," on one string. Printed on light, almost-diaphanous green paper, there are a few minor losses of paper, not affecting readability nor informational value. The original sheet was trimmed and backed with a stronger piece of paper. The surface has been cleaned and places where the original paper had come free of the mount have been set down-

Description:
2 pp. of a bifolium. Octavo. Dated "31 Juillet," no year. To an unidentified male correspondent. On lined paper. In French (with translation). Berlioz apologizes for not being able to edit his article on Bortnyansky, with which he hopes his correspondent will be satisfied. "The fragment of musical criticism which I wanted to add to the item on Bortnianski is in the hands of Mr. M. Levy's printer who is at present bringing out a book which contains this article. It is impossible for me - since the printer is not in Paris - to rework my manuscript. Therefore be good enough to be satisfied with the Russian article; it is accurate, on the whole, and it would be difficult for me to redo a study on Bortnianski and Emperor of Russia's singers that is already done." The composer/critic goes on say that he would be happy for extracts of the article to appear in L'Illustration and, in a postscript, asks his correspondent to send him a copy of the periodical in which his article appears. Slightly worn;…

Description:
London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
