Translated from the French: "This copy belonged to Marmontel judging by the dedications of the pieces bound in the same volume. Perhaps the notes in pencil are from Marmontel." Toning and foxing; wear to the spine; overall very good. 10 x 13.25 inches 25.5 x 34 cm. Grabowski & Rink 11-1-Sm. A historic copy having been owned by two of the most important pianists in history. <br style="">Pianist teacher and musicologist Antoine François Marmontel became Professor of Keyboard at the Paris Conservatory in 1848 succeeding Pierre Zimmermann and beating out his former teacher Charles-Valentin Alkan. He achieved renown as a pedagogue; among his many notable students were Georges Bizet Vincent D'Indy and Claude Debussy. Marmontel was the author of a large number of pedagogical works as well as musicological works which are among the best sources for the history of the piano and pianists.<br style="">One of the 20th century's most influential — yet inimitable — classical figures Alfred Cortot was born in 1877 in Switzerland to a French father and a Swiss mother and he based his long career as a pianist conductor and teacher in Paris. Cortot was one of his era's most renowned interpreters of Chopin his best recordings setting an enduring standard for poetry in motion. In 1925 the pianist made the first electrical recording of classical music for the Victor label in New Jersey featuring music by Chopin and Schumann. Among his hundreds of subsequent recordings was the first complete version of Chopin's Preludes Op. 28. In holding up Cortot as a paragon of Chopin playing even decades after his death The New York Times described his method as combining "lucidity with spontaneity. It is almost modern in its lack of sentimentality and attention to structure; yet it is unmistakably Romantic in its insistence on freedom and variety. Each line is suffused with subtle detail with interior contours and dynamic shadings. But these are not indulgent ornaments; they reveal rather than cloud the music's intentions." <br style=""><br style="">The Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor Op. 11 was composed in 1830 when Chopin was twenty years old and was first performed on 11 October of that year at the Teatr Narodowy the National Theatre in Warsaw Poland with the composer as soloist during one of his "farewell" concerts before leaving Poland. The first of Chopin's two piano concertos to be published it was therefore given the designation of Piano Concerto "No. 1" at the time of publication even though it was actually written immediately after the premiere of what was later published as Piano Concerto No. 2.

Apart from these extra leaves our copy is embellished with 6 plates with scenes of the play from the original French edition of Marmontel's play published in Paris 1771 here all beautifully coloured and with 3 extra plates by Dutch artists probably made to illustrate a third edition; a second edition appeared in 1786.Zémire and Azor was a comic opera in 4 acts composed by the Belgian composer André Grétry with a French text by Jean François Marmontel 1723-1799 based on Jean Marie Prince de Beaumont's 1756 La belle et la bête and P.C. Nivelle de la Chaussé's 1742 Amour pour Amour. The opera was first performed on 9 November 1771 stayed in the French repertory until at least 1821 and enjoyed worldwide success. The story unfolds as follows:After being shipwrecked the "Persian" probably Armenian merchant Sander and his servant Ali find themselves in a strange palace. A banquet has been laid though there is no sign of the owner and the two help themselves to the feast. When Sander plucks a rose from the palace garden to give to his daughter Zémire the beast-like Azor appears. He is the owner of the palace and says Sander must pay with his life for stealing the rose unless he can persuade one of his daughters to take his place. When she hears what has happened Zémire agrees to sacrifice her life for her father and Ali leads her to the palace where she almost faints at the fearsome sight of Azor. However Azor proves to be a kind host showing Zémire her family in a magic mirror and even allowing her to visit home again so long as she promises to return. After a stay with her family Zémire decides to return to Azor and finds him in despair because he believes she has abandoned him. She protests that she cares about him and the magic spell on Azor is lifted now he has found love. He changes from a beast to a handsome prince and claims his kingdom with Zémire at his side.The Dutch poet and playwright Pieter Pijpers 1749-1805 from Amersfoort was a Roman Catholic in the Dutch Patriot party. He had to flee to Belgium after the Patriots' failed Democratic revolution of 1787 but was awarded many high positions after the Batavian revolution of 1795. He devoted himself to his literary work at his mansion Puntenburgh at Amersfoort.With the circular morocco bookplate of P.

A first edition of this foundational encyclopedia of 18th century knowledge. A massive thirty-five volume set. Large folios volumes 39.5 x 25 cm. Bound in 18th-century French calf. Spines gilt with raised bands. One volume non-uniformly bound in light calf. <br> The set includes: Encyclopedie Paris: 1751-57 & Neuchatel 1765. 17 volumes; Recueil de planches.

Paris: 1780. <br> Profusely illustrated with engraved plates. <br> Diderot's famous Encyclopedie was initially a modest translation of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. It grew as a project into a massive project which attempted to collect human knowledge from a rationalistic perspective instead of by nature or theology. In organizing knowledge from a position where human reason was paramount the supremacy of the Church was imperiled. As a result the Encyclopedie was widely controversial and placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum by the Catholic Church. In discussing fundamental philosophical issues such as on political authority and natural rights articles in the Encyclopedie shifted the basis of governmental authority from the divine right of Kings to radical concepts popular consent was the basis of legitimacy and the ideals of a social contract. The work was banned by the King of France. It spread the foundational ideas of the French Revolution and enlightenment thinkers. "No encyclopaedia perhaps has been of such political importance or has occupied so conspicuous a place in the civil and literary history of its century. It sought not only to give information but to guide opinion." "It was a war machine; as it progressed its attacks on both the church and still more on despotic government as well as Christianity itself became bolder and more undistinguished and it was met with persecution and opposition unparalleled in the the history of encyclopedias." - Encyclopedia Britannica 11th ed p. 1483.
