"Among various writings two books are particularly important: Le Haydine . and Le Rossininane ossia lettere musico-teatrali. . The former was plagiarized by Stendhal and this created a lively controversy. These books show that Carpani was very knowledgeable about all contemporary music and an astute judge of the renewal movement in the early 19th century. He was in touch with all the major composers of his period and accompanied Rossini on his celebrated visit to Beethoven in 1822."

With the ownership signature in ink on the back of songs 9 and 10 written "Susan Buchanan's." 9 of the pieces of sheet music are loose 16 are loosely bound together.<br/> <br/> Provenance: Family of Founding Father Francis Hopkinson<br/> <br/> 25 pieces of sheet music printed in Ireland by Hime at the end of the 18th century from the family collection of Francis Hopkinson America's first composer.<br/> <br/> "American society from about 1805 on was especially enamored of Irish and Scotch tunes particularly the Irish Melodies of Thomas Moore and other national music." - Richard J. Wolfe Early American Music Engraving and Printing Founding Father Francis Hopkinson 1737-1791 was a signatory for New Jersey to the Declaration of Independence and the first American to compose a song which he attested to himself: "I cannot I believe be refused the Credit of being the first Native of the United States who has produced a Musical Composition." Hopkinson published three of the earliest American song collections: Collection of Plain Tunes with a Few from Anthems and Hymns printed by Carr in 1763; America Independent or Temple of Minerva the first American opera printed by Carr in 1781; and Seven Songs for the Harpsichord or Forte Piano printed by T. Dobson in 1788. All sheets were printed by Hime. Hime was an English and Irish music publishing firm run by two brothers Humphrey and Morris. Hime began in Liverpool but moved to Dublin in 1790. The firm continued printing until the 1870s as Hime & Son. The Himes did the largest provincial trade in Britain at the end of the 18th century because English copyright law did not apply to Irish publishers so Hime could flood the English market with bootleg copies of popular songs. The song titles are: 1. "TEARS THAT EXHALE: An admired SONG in the PRISONER Composed by Mr. Attwood." 2. "I'D THINK on THEE MY LOVE. A Favorite NEW SEA SONG Composed by Mr. HOOK." 3. "HENRY's COTTAGEMAID." 4. "AS WRAPT IN SLEEP I LAY: A favorite Song sung by Mrs CROUCH in the Opera of The PIRATES Composed by STEPN STORACE." 5.

Bound in brightly gilt embroidered silk binding the manuscript was probably produced for a court or private musical event.<br /> <br /> Both librettos had an English origin. The Creation text based on Genesis and Milton's Paradise Lost was taken from a manuscript libretto by an unknown author originally intended for Handel given to Haydn by the English impresario Johann Peter Salomon and brought back by him from England in 1795. The Seasons was loosely based on extracts from James Thomson's poem of the same title 1730 but van Swieten had greater leeway in rearranging the text.<br /> <br /> It was still considered a given in the early nineteenth century that vocal compositions in languages other than Latin and Italian would be translated into the language of the audience. The Creation was first performed in Italian in Milan in 1810 using Giuseppe Carpani's verse translation of van Swieten's libretto first published in Vienna in 1801. The manuscript contains an abridged version of Carpani's text with some variants. The Quattro stagione is also abridged and seems to be based on portions of an anonymous translation first published in Dresden in 1802 and used for the oratorio's first performances in Italian in 1811 in Milan and Bologna cf. editions of Milan: Mussi 1811 and Bologna: Ramponi 1811.<br /> <br /> The manuscript was exhibited in Turin in 1998: cf. Francesco Malaguzzi Legature romantiche piemontese: legature del periodo romantico in raccolte private no. 67 and p. 30. Malaguzzi stated that the manuscript contains "watermarks of the Biella papermakers the brothers Avondo datable to the third decade of the 19th century" but this cataloguer failed to see any watermarks.</p> unknown

A Complete Collection of Mozart and Beethoven's Symphonies Lavenu contains the first appearance of the full scores of Mozart's Symphony no. 39 no 13 and no. 38. In very good condition with light toning to the text. An exceptional collection of the utmost rarity. 1786 saw the successful premiere of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in Vienna. Its reception in Prague later in the year was even warmer and this led to a second collaboration with Da Ponte: the opera Don Giovanni which premiered in October 1787 to acclaim in Prague but less success in Vienna in 1788. The two are among Mozart's most important works and are mainstays of the operatic repertoire today. In 1787 the young Ludwig van Beethoven spent several weeks in Vienna hoping to study with Mozart. No reliable records survive to indicate whether the two composers ever met. Beethoven would go on to become a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in classical music he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers with his best-known compositions including 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass the Missa solemnis; and an opera Fidelio.

No. 101 'Clock' has by far the longest minuet and trio Haydn ever composed and a particularly brilliant rondo finale.
