Siena , dai Torchj di Onorato Porri, 1821, in-8, br. editoriale con cornice tipografica, pp. 32. Grazioso fregio (puttini con grappoli d'uva) in xilografia al frontespizio. Per il testo dell'oratorio profano "Die Jahreszeiten", ispirato al poema "The Seasons" di James Thomson, Haydn si avvalse, come già per la "Creazione", dell'aristocratico Swieten, che tuttavia non volle apparire nelle edizioni a stampa; figlio del medico personale dell'imperatrice Maria Teresa, diplomatico, massone, ma sopratutto patrono di musicisti (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven), dilettante di musica e fautore della riscoperta bachiana e haendeliana, prefetto della Biblioteca Imperiale di Vienna; grazie a lui il testo apparve sia in inglese che tedesco: a stampa presso Breitkopf & Härtel di Lipsia nel 1802; la 1a rappresentazione viennese è dello stesso anno (privata: maggio; pubblica: aprile). La 1a italiana avvenne al Liceo Filarmonico di Bologna il 10 maggio 1811 (in occasione della nascita del re di Roma, figlio di Napoleone) colla direzione di G. Rossini, al cembalo. Nella nota preliminare è detto che la traduzione "è la stessa che fu fatta in Dresda sul ritmo musicale dell'originale tedesco" (la stessa seguita nella stampa italiana fatta presso la Tipografia Ramponi); edizioni coeve riportano il nome del vicentino Francesco Degli Antoni. Ottime condizioni.
cm. 17 x 24, xiv-606 pp. con 5 figg. n.t. , 8 ill. f.t., 8 ess. mus. Quaderni della ?Rivista Italiana di Musicologia? A compendiare il senso degli studi radunati in questo volume ? la nozione di ?contesto? che, evocata dal titolo, riflette l?intenzione di considerare l?oratorio musicale italiano non tanto in una dimensione storico geografica quanto piuttosto come testimonianza di un universo culturale complesso e sempre ridefinito dalla dialettica comunicativa fra i testi e le loro varie occasioni. Questo l?obiettivo di ricerca del convegno del quale questi atti rispecchiano, in forme pi? ampie e distese, i risultati raggiunti. The notion of context is pivotal to the essays gathered in this volume as it reflects the intention of considering the Italian musical oratorio not only in its historical-geographical dimension, but moreover as the testimony of a complex cultural world subject to dialectical communication between the texts and their performances. This was the main objective of the conference research the outcome of which is conveyed in greater detail by these proceedings. 1075 gr. xiv-606 p.

Very good. <p>Irish baritone Harry Plunket Greene made a notable contribution to British musical life not only through his concerts and recitals but also by writing and lecturing on his art and in the field of competitions and examinations. He studied for two years at the Stuttgart Conservatory under Hromada made his debut in "The Messiah" in 1888 and his operatic debut at Covent Garden in 1890. Thereafter he chose to make his career in recital. During the 1890s he became one of the foremost British interpreters of the German lieder giving the first complete public performance of Schumann's "Dichterliebe" to be heard in London in 1895. He was much admired for his style musicianship and intelligence. He created the title part in Hubert Parry's "Job" and was the original exponent or dedicatee of many of Parry's lyrical works. Charles Villiers Stanford wrote "Songs of the Sea" for him. He was a friend of Elgar and was the original baritone in the first performance of Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius" under Hans Richter in 1900.<p>This is a wonderful selection of the singer's correspondence with many musical references. The letters written in a somewhat difficult handwriting are friendly informal and at times teasingly affectionate. They are addressed to "Dear Griffin" and from the content it is clear that Griffin was a singer and Plunket Greene was his teacher or mentor: "I have just heard from Bowman Paget Bowman of British National Opera Company that a letter will arrive for you next Wednesday asking you to go down and play 'Pagliacci'.Let's run through it again before you go" 3/17/24; "As soon as you have mastered time and can have a picture in your mind of the shape of phrases you will be able to go where you like and carry all before you." 7/27/24; "Don't forget that it is the word and not the note which pulls you out of your difficulties & that in the word it is the consonant & not the vowel which links up with the engine." 7/27/24.<p>There are a number of references to other musicians. Plunket Greene writes of the British National Opera Company: "The B.N.O. wound up opening here. He Bowman evicted Percy Pitt and got back Fred Austin & the change is little short of miraculous. The whole company shot up in style like a flower." 7/27/24. Conductor Percy Pitt left the BNOC in 1924 and became Principal Conductor at Covent Garden. There is a somewhat illegible reference here to Vaughan Williams' "Hugh the Drover" which was in the BNOC's repertoire and was first performed at His Majesty's Theatre on 7/14/24. In the same letter Plunket Greene writes of the death of cellist Victor Herbert whom he would presumably have known from his time studying in Stuttgart: "Poor old Victor Herbert; I remember him so well. It is queer to look back on the time when he was principal cello in the Stuttgart orchestra in the '80s.". On October 27 1927 he writes of the all-girl harmony singing trio formed in 1924 by Pearl Hamilton Santos Violet Hamilton and Jessie Fordyce: "The Hamilton Sisters & Fordyce are just A1 as they are. I wouldn't interfere with them for anything. It's just perfect in its way. I do trust they leave things alone not try to change."<p>Interestingly in the 7/27/24 letter Plunket Greene makes a passing reference to proofreading his classic book on fly-fishing "Where the Bright Waters Meet" which was published that year: "My fishing book will be out first week in September ". Taken together these letters offer a delightful insight into the mind and personality of an important musical figure. London, U.K.: March 17, 1924-Oct. 27, 1927. unknown
