1927005263Paris: Bloch and Meynial 1927. Limited First Edition. Heavy Wrappers. . Very Good Plus/Good. No. 185 of 275 copies. 4to. 32 by 24 cm. 25 tipped-in pochoir costume plates by Barbier. Lettered tissue guards. Colas 218. The artwork is all dated to the early post-World War One period into the early 1920s. Captured here is the fantasy spun by the costuming so at odds with the parsimonious theatrical zeitgeist of the present when it seems so much of classic theater and opera is willfully updated to the unglamorous present day. Not that the costumes here are entirely unrelated to the then contemporary styles -- one can discern the cross-fertilization of costuming with fashion effortlessly though through Barbier's fluent presentation. Barbier focuses on the escapist element of theater and his renderings usher us on this excursion. The plays represented include works by Rostand and Hugo among others. Original pictorial wrappers. Closed tear of joints by extremities with the longer tear at the base about 6 cm in length. Glassine dust jacket mostly intact but with several tears and chips especially by the lower portion of the rear cover and then by the spine extremities and neighboring joints. Frontis portrait of Barbier has flattened cornered crease. Otherwise the plates most importantly are very clean and bright. <br/><br/> Bloch and Meynial unknown books

A rare early inscription on an early work in the first edition to an important fellow musician when both men were in the U.S. Army. <br /><br /> Samuel Barber 1910 – 1981 was one of the most celebrated composers of the twentieth century. Barber was a triple prodigy in voice piano and composition entering the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia at age 14. Best remembered internationally for his hauntingly beautiful Adagio for Strings first championed by Arturo Toscanini his music has been used at times of national and international crisis to honor the dead and console the living. Who could ever forget Barber's music at Princess Grace's funeral The First Symphony dates from 1936 and bears the opus number 9 on the first page of the score. The first performance was by Bernardino Molinari and the Augusteo Orchestra in Rome December 13 1936. The first American performance was given by Arthur Rodzinski and the Cleveland Orchestra January 22 1937. Samuel Barber enjoyed the distinction for winning the Pulitzer Prize twice as well as distinguished commissions such as writing the opera for the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House in 1966 <i>Anthony and Cleopatra</i>. In 1942 Barber joined the Army Air Corps. The dedicatee here is Daniel Saidenberg a violoncellist in the Philadelphia Orchestra starting in 1926 and in 1930 he was a 'cellist in the Chicago Symphony. Saidenberg was the first 'cellist to win the prestigious Walter W. Naumburg International Competition after which he pursued a solo career; and in later years he was a Manhattan gallery owner known for his sponsorship of faculty recitals at New York's Juilliard School. Saidenberg died in 1997 at age 90. G. Schirmer, Inc. books
