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.

Engraved music plate number 77 in 4 parts engraved title on front wrapper. Folio. Franz Joseph Haydn 1732-1809 was born in Austria. Known as the 'father of the symphony' adnd 'father of the quartet' his work was eclipsed by that of Beethoven until the late twentieth century when much of his music finally became available in modern editions. <br/><br/>It has been argued that while he did not 'invent' the quartet he was "certainly the first composer to appreciate their potential . and Haydn projected an unequalled mastery of the language of music."

This seemed especially necessary at a time when the Revolution in France was raging at its strongest . I had a text fashioned by the worthy poet Lorenz Leopold Haschka; and to have it set to music I turned to our immortal compatriot Haydn who I felt was the only man capable of creating something that could be placed at the side of .

Hoboken 9 1377.<br/><br/>Haydn's Seven Last Words was conceived as a purely instrumental work in 1787 and is regarded as one of his finest compositions. Upon hearing an arrangement with vocal lines added by Joseph Friebert 1724-1799 Haydn was inspired to write his own version as an oratorio. This would be his first collaboration with Baron von Swieten who would later pen the librettos for The Creation and The Seasons. The oratorio version premiered on March 26 1796 at the Schwarzenberg Palace in Vienna.<br/><br/>"The Seven Last Words a success during Haydn's lifetime and beyond is less popular today in part because it is not a full-length work in part owing to the succession of eight consecutive adagios which paradoxically seem more monotonous than in the orchestral version. Its most striking movement is the bleak newly composed introduction to the second part scored for wind alone and set in A minor a key Haydn hardly ever used." James Webster in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Julian Marshall was one of the principal contributors to the first edition of Grove. His extensive collection of manuscripts is now held in the British Museum. Breitkopf & Härtel unknown books
