19079654Milan: Edoardo Sonzogno 1907. First edition. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Piano-vocal score. TThe libretto by Artur Colautti based on a play by Vitorien Sardou. 8 263 pp. 4to. 22.5 x 29.5 cm 9 x 11.5 inches. Later full red morocco spine lettered in gilt previous owner's name in gilt on front cover all edges gilt original wrappers bound in; matching full red morocco slipcase. Presentation inscription from the composer to tenor Enrico Caruso on the half title. From the collection of Jane Hohfeld Galante 1924 - 2010 pianist and music scholar. <br><br><br />Caruso created roles in many of Cilea's operas but was not among the cast of this production. 'Gloria' was Cilea's final opera opening at La Scala on April 15 1907 conducted by Arturo Toscanini and was a box office disaster closing after only two performances. Perhaps the composer hoped that getting the score into Caruso's capable hands might somehow spark some further interest. Edoardo Sonzogno unknown books
1902010211London: Longmans Green and Co 1902. Sixth Impression. Publishers Cloth. Very Good. Caruso Enrico original self-portrait. 8vo publisher's blue cloth gilt stamped decoration front and spine 673p. 40p. pub list. Unrelated 1965 gift inscription verso ffe. Ownership copy of Tito Ricordi II with his ownership signature upper left corner front fly dated by him 14.01.05 January 14 1905 with an original self-profile in ink by Caruso signed and dated by him 1908. Caruso 1873-1921 the famous Italian-born tenor was also a renowned caricaturist who made sketches of many famous people but often of himself as mementoes to famous personalities or figures in the opera world. This self-portrait was apparently sketched for Tito Ricordi 1865-1933 heir to the historic music publishing company Casa Ricordi founded in 1808 by Tito's grandfather violinist Giovanni Ricordi. The Ricordi company repertoire represented one of the world's most important sources of opera and classical music; early in its history the company purchased the music library of LaScala and published the works of Rossini Bellini Verdi and Puccini. The Ricordis were not only publishers but also impressarios of careers and fortunes in the opera world. This self-portrait presented by Caruso to the Ricordi heir represents an association between the major opera performer of the time and the major arbiter of opera culture and commerce of the period. $1750.
