A MONSIEUR LE BAILLY DE SUFFREN QUE L'ON S'ATTENDOIT A VOIR A L'ISLE DE BOURBON AU RETOUR DE SE GLORIEUSE CAMPAGNE DE L'INDE caption title

1784WRCAM48601Isle de France: Imprimerie Royale 1784. 4pp. on a single folded sheet. Quarto. Moderately worn with loss at fore- edge and gutter margins not affecting text. Lightly soiled and dampstained. Good. An early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text comprises a poem in eleven stanzas by an anonymous soldier from the Regiment of the Isle de France who retired to the island of Bourbon. As most early imprints from Mauritius are official documents this piece a work of local literature is particularly interesting and desirable. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base; as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC and not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. Imprimerie Royale unknown books

No. 3. JOURNAL DES ASSEMBLÃƒÂ‰ES-COLONIALE ADMINISTRATIVE ET DU DIRECTOIRE DE L'ISLE DE FRANCE. DU 22 BRUMAIRE AN 5e. DU 12 NOVEMBRE 1796 VIEUX STYLE caption title

1796WRCAM48596Port Nord-Ouest: Chez F.N. Bolle 1796. 4pp. Small quarto. Single folded sheet. Contemporary manuscript notations. Light soiling and wear. Very good. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text contains the deliberations and acts of the colonial assembly of the island at a time when it was operating virtually independent from France. The acts all concern measures to be taken for the defense of the island at a time when British invasion was feared.

After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony.

L'Heure Espagnole ComÃ©die Musicale en Un Acte PoÃ¨me de Franc-Nohain. Partition pour Chant et Piano Transcrite par l'Auteur. Piano-vocal score

190823071Paris: A. Durand & Fils PN D. & F. 7073 1908. Small folio. Half mid-tan calf with marbled boards original publisher's wrappers printed in black and red bound in. 1f. blank 1f. title printed in red and black 1f. printed dedication "Ã€ Madame Jean Cruppi Hommage de respectueuse amitiÃ© Maurice Ravel" 1f. cast list i index ii performance notes 114 pp. With an autograph inscription signed by Ravel to dedication leaf: "et Ã G - Jean - Aubry en moins respectueuse amitiÃ© Maurice Ravel." Wrappers browned and very slightly defective. Slightly worn and browned; small tear to head of dedication repaired; small publisher's monogramatic handstamp to lower edge of verso of last page; contemporary newspaper clippings to recto of blank leaf preceding title with synopsis and review of the work by Gabriel FaurÃ©. First Edition. Orenstein: Ravel Man and Musician p. 228. L'Heure Espagnole was first performed in Paris at the OpÃ©ra Comique on May 19 1911 to a libretto closely based on the play by Franc-Nohain. Madame Jean Cruppi the dedicatee convinced the director of the OpÃ©ra-Comique Albert CarrÃ© to stage the work in spite of its risquÃ© story line. "In a letter of 17 May 1911 two days before the premiÃ¨re Ravel wrote: 'What I've tried to do is fairly ambitious: to breathe new life into the Italian opera buffa: following only the principle . the French language like any other has its own accents and inflections of pitch.' At the same time he referred to Musorgsky's Zhenit'ba 'The Marriage' as the work's only real ancestor. It also forms part of a larger group of Spanish works that spanned Ravel's whole career and the necessary Spanish colouring provided him with a reason for a virtuoso use of the modern orchestra which he felt was 'perfectly designed for underlining and exaggerating comic effects'." Roger Nichols in Grove Music Online. Indeed composer-writer Reynaldo Hahn somewhat critically referred to Ravel's technique as "a sort of transcendent jujitsu." Noted music critic Georges Jean-Aubry 1882-1949 "belonged to a circle of avant-garde musicians and littÃ©rateurs and was a frequent contributor to periodicals. Encouraged by his 20-year friendship with Debussy he wrote enthusiastically in support of contemporary French composers noting similarities between their music and that of the 18th century Couperin Rameau. He wrote perceptively in praise of Spanish composers Falla Granados AlbÃ©niz but rejected German Romanticism as expressed in the works of Wagner and Strauss." Grove Music Online. A.
