Slightly worn; light uniform browning; very occasional markings in lead and red pencil; pp. 17/18 with small tear to blank lower margin. First Italian edition 1856 later issue based on the publisher's blindstamp. <br/><br/>This second collaboration between Haydn and librettist Gottfried von Swieten was based on the poem by James Thomson 1700-1748 published in 1730. The work was first performed on April 24 1801 in a private première at the Schwarzenberg Palace in Vienna; its first public production took place on May 19 1801. <br/><br/>"Although the initial reception of The Seasons was favourable - Haydn wrote to Clementi that it had enjoyed 'unanimous approval' and that 'many prefer it to The Creation because of its greater variety' - critical opinion soon became mixed owing in part to its perceived 'lower' subject in part to a growing aesthetic resistance to its many pictorialisms. Haydn himself contributed to both strands of criticism: he supposedly said to Francis II 'In The Creation angels speak and tell of God but in The Seasons only Simon speaks' Dies; and he indiscreetly criticized Swieten's croaking frogs 'Frenchified trash' and the absurdity of a choral hymn to toil Fleiss. Nonetheless he maintained that it would join The Creation in assuring his lasting fame. For the publication he took the path of lesser resistance selling the rights to Breitkopf & Härtel."

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 books
