1894157381894. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin and Company 1894. 2 pp undated ads. Original olive green cloth decorated in gilt. First Edition of Kate Chopin's second but first obtainable book a collection of 23 stories and anecdotes of Louisiana local color. A native of St. Louis Katherine O'Flaherty 1850-1904 married a successful Louisiana Creole named Oscar Chopin and lived in New Orleans and on a nearby cotton plantation until his death of swamp fever in 1882 when she was 31; after two years of trying to manage the indebted plantation herself she returned with her children to St. Louis where suffering from depression she was encouraged to write as a form of therapy. Her writing career began with the now-exceedingly-rare AT FAULT St. Louis 1890 in wrappers -- and it ended due to the public shock over her fourth book THE AWAKENING 1899. She died at age 54 of a brain hemorrhage suffered at the St. Louis World's Fair. As an example of the BAYOU FOLK tales "Désirée's Baby" just twelve pages long tells of Armand an antebellum Louisiana aristocrat who over the objections of friends and family marries an adopted girl of unknown ancestry. Their newborn baby boy is definitely "dark" -- so Armand turns Désirée and the child out of his house. She did not take the broad beaten road to the far-off plantation of Valmondé. She walked across a deserted field where the stubble bruised her tender feet so delicately shod and tore her thin gown to shreds. She disappeared among the reeds and willows that grow thick along the banks of the deep sluggish bayou; and she did not come back again. Some weeks later burning old letters Armand discovers one from his mother to his father; the story ends with this quote from that letter: "I thank the good God for having arranged our lives that our dear Armand will never know that his mother who adores him belongs to the race that is cursed with the brand of slavery." This copy is very good-plus perhaps near-fine: there is scarcely any wear other than a cracked rear endpaper though as always with this olive-green cloth the spine has aged to a honey-brown.

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.Â A historic copy having been owned by two of the most important pianists in history.Â Pianist teacher and musicologist Antoine FranÃ§ois 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 areÂ among the best sources for the history of the piano and pianists. One of the 20th century's most influential â€”Â yet inimitable â€”Â 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 deathÂ The New York TimesÂ described his method as combining "lucidity with spontaneity.Â 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."Â TheÂ Piano Concerto No. 1 in E minor Op. 11 was composedÂ in 1830 when Chopin wasÂ twenty years old and was first performed on 11 October of that year at theÂ Teatr NarodowyÂ the National Theatre inÂ WarsawÂ Poland with the composer as soloist during one of his "farewell" concerts before leaving Poland.Â 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 asÂ Piano Concerto No. 2.
