cm 25 x 32, 148 pp. Carus-Verlag GmbH - ISBN 9783899483130 The organ is the instrument on which the young Giacomo Puccini began his career as a musician. Through the rediscovery of a considerable number of hand-written pieces, which he composed after 1870 as part of his duties as organist in the churches of Lucca, several primary sources are now available. These give an insight into the beginnings of his musical activities which have only been known about from anecdotes from his first biographers until now. Puccini?s organ repertoire includes works which were typical for liturgical organ music at that time: sonatas for the main sections of the mass, versets which were substituted for Gregorian chant, marches, which were played after the mass (exceptionally even waltzes), and even a pastorale for Christmas time. This music was written with the sound of instruments made in Tuscany in mind. These have just one manual, a 8 foot Principale register and a small pedalboard always coupled to the manual. In addition there were several solo stops divided into "bass" and "soprano".Puccini contributed with originality to the renewal of Italian organ practice, which began in his day to discard its operatic style in favor of a style more suited to the liturgy.

In fair condition lightly aged and creased. Folded twice for postage. The address is printed on a small golden label affixed at the top left corner. Addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Catry’ and signed ‘With all best wishes - and thank you for writing! / Sincerely / Eric Crozier.’ He asks him to forgive a typed letter as he is ‘convalescing from a heart-attack and still not very good at hand-writing. / The opera I must enjoyed producing was I suppose my very first - Smetana’s THE BARTERED BRIDE in 1943 in a new English version made by Joan Cross and myself which stayed in the repertoire at Sadler’s Wells and Covent Garden for twenty years.’ He recalls that it was first staged ‘during the black-out to audiences starved of colour and gaiety: our first audience included the Czech government in exile - President Benes Jan Masaryk and others - and on the second night they took the whole theatre for their fellow-countrymen to see what all Czechs regarded as their national opera’. The rest of the letter concerns his next production Britten’s ‘Peter Grimes’ ‘a world-wide event’ premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1945 ‘and one year later I staged the American premiere with Leonard Bernstein as conductor at Tanglewood. I worked with Britten and Montagu Slater the librettist throughout the writing and composition of that great work which has had I would guess a greater international success than any other English opera all through the past fifty years. It is still being staged - Rostropovich will conduct performances of it at the Barbican this March.’ 10 January 1993, with address label of ‘ERIC CROZIER, OBE / 4 THE TIMBERYARD / GREAT GLEMHAM / SAXMUNDHAM / SUFFOLK’. unknown
2439115 July 1859. London. Meyerbeer is said to have been the most frequently performed opera composer during the nineteenth century. He encouraged and supported the young Wagner who turned on him viciously later in life. Lady Molesworth née Andalusia Carstairs d.1888 had herself been a professional singer. She was the widow of Sir William Molesworth 1810-55 founder of the London Review and owner under the editorship of John Stuart Mill of the Westminster Review. Regarding the present item Meyerbeer notes in his diary for Sunday 17 July ‘Big dinner and musical soiree at Lady Molesworth’s.’ Sir Charles Santley recalls in his reminiscences ‘singing for Meyerbeer at a party at Lady Molesworth’s house’ in order to reassure him that he was up to the part of Hoel in Chorley’s English version of ‘Dinorah’. 1p 12mo. On recto of first leaf of a bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and folded four times for postage. Blot at top right-hand corner in same ink as note. Reads: ‘Meyerbeer présente ses respectueux hommages à Mylady Molesworth & se rendra avec autant d’empressement que de plaisir à l’aimable invitation de Mylady pour dimanche prochain / Londres 14 Juillet 59.’ See image. 15 July 1859.

20494No place. Dated 1942. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in Mona Inglesby and her International Ballet 1942-1951. In 2008 Kay Hunter published a study of the troupe titled 'Ballet in the Blitz'; then in 2012 BBC Radio 4 aired a documentary about Mona Inglesby and International Ballet titled 'Black-Out Ballet: The Invisible Woman of British Ballet'. The writer of the documentary Ismene Brown gave the following explanation of her motives: 'In 2006 an elderly dancer died in Bexhill-on-Sea Sussex. She was 88 and had once been one of Britain's most recognised ballerinas. Why did she die in obscurity Why is the great ballet company that she ran now a forgotten name This was what I set out to explore in a BBC Radio 4 documentary which aired yesterday. Inglesby's story has the improbability of an epic. As a very young woman she defied wartime conditions to launch a major ballet company which introduced the British public en masse to grand ballet. She was also nothing less than the saviour of the most precious texts in all classical ballet. A mounting sense of injustice caused the last remaining dancers of her company now in their eighties and nineties to try to get some amends for Inglesby before they too were gone.' The scenery and costume designs of International Ballet are at Harvard. The present item is on one side of a 12mo piece of paper. It is in good condition lightly aged and spotted. Half way down the page slightly to the right of centre is the large firm signature in red ink of 'Mona Inglesby 1942.' Arranged above and below this in two loose columns and in a variety of different-oloured inks are the other 23 signatures: 'Thelma Fabian Anne Negus Joan Harris later ballet director for The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet and founder and first director of The Norwegian National Ballet School Anglela Bayley <Eileen> Ward.

In folio (39×58 cm). Croquis par Ciardi, Dessinè sur pierre pad A. Lebedeff. Una mano coeva ha scritto con matita rossa il nome di Nápravník al margine basso della tavola. Bellissima caricatura del celebre compositore e direttore d’orchestra ceco Eduard Francevic Napravnik (Býšt, 24 agosto 1839 – San Pietroburgo, 23 novembre 1916). Napravnik, naturalizzato russo, fu una delle figure centrali della scena musicale russa dell’ottocento. Fu il direttore d’orchestra principale del teatro Mariinskij di San Pietroburgo per decenni. Diresse le prime di numerose opere russe, fra cui quelle di Musorgskij, Cajkovskij e Rimskij-Korsakov. “Nel 1854 entrò nella Scuola organistica di Praga, dove ebbe come professori Jan Bedrich Kittl ed altri, divenendo assistente professore. La generosità del suo insegnante gli permise di continuare gli studi. Nel 1861 ricevete un’offerta dalla Russia: il posto di direttore dell’orchestra privata del principe Jusupov a San Pietroburgo. Nápravník divenne organista e direttore assistente dei Teatri Imperiali nel 1863, secondo direttore nel 1867 e primo direttore, succedendo a Ljadov, nel 1869: mantenne il posto fino alla morte. Diresse le prime rappresentazioni di Boris Godunov di Musorgskij nel 1874, di cinque opere di Cajkovskij, fra cui La Pulzella di Orléans, Mazeppa e La dama di picche e cinque di Rimskij-Korsakov, fra cui Notte di maggio, La fanciulla delle nevi e La notte prima di Natale. Diresse anche i concerti della Società musicale russa. Nel 1914, dopo una fruttuosa carriera al servizio dell’opera russa, fu costretto ad interrompere la sua attività per motivi di salute. Nápravník è anche noto per aver diretto la seconda — ed assolutamente convincente — rappresentazione della Sinfonia n. 6 di Cajkovskij, il 15 novembre 1893, nove giorni dopo la morte del compositore. La prima, diretta dallo stesso compositore, non aveva avuto tanto successo, e per la mancanza di familiarità con una composizione tanto ricca di novità da parte del pubblico e dell’orchestra, e per la stessa direzione di Cajkovskij. Sotto la bacchetta di Nápravník e nell’emozione per la recente scomparsa del compositore, la sinfonia fu accolta come un capolavoro. Comprendeva anche alcune piccole correzioni apportate da Cajkovskij dopo la prima e quindi quella di Nápravník fu la prima rappresentazione della sinfonia nella forma in cui oggi la conosciamo”. La caricatura è opera del celebre compositore, flautista e caricaturista fiorentino Cesare Ciardi (Firenze, 28 giugno 1818 – Strel’na, 13 giugno 1877). Dopo una grande carriera in Italia ed in Francia nel “…1853 Ciardi partì per l’estero: Parigi e poi Pietroburgo dove resterà per anni come flautista dello Zar, direttori dei Teatri Imperiali e successivamente docente di flauto al neonato Conservatorio di Pietroburgo creato da Anton Grigorevic Rubinštejn; lì, per due anni (come scrive Fabbri, 1999), Pëtr Il’ic Cajkovskij studia flauto con Ciardi diventandone sincero amico; anche il celebre clarinettista Ernesto Cavallini lavorava nella stessa città entrando spesso in contatto con Ciardi. L’ultimo rimpatrio di Ciardi è del 1867 documentato dal programma di un ‘Gran Concerto Vocale e Strumentale’ a Prato dove Ciardi si esibì trionfalmente”.
