Blue cloth-backed patterned paper boards titling gilt to spine. 1f. recto title verso blank 1f. recto table of contents verso blank 5-300 pp. <br /> <br /> From the collection of Italian conductor vocal coach and close associate of Puccini and Mascagni Luigi Ricci 1893-1981.<br /> <br /> Binding slightly rubbed and bumped. 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 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."

Intermittent moderate foxing and browning. First Edition of the "Missa in tempore belli" one of six masses written by order of Prince Esterházy between 1796 and 1802. Hoboken Collection Vol. 9 1433. RISM H2498. <br /> <br /> "Vocal music constitutes fully half of Haydn's output. Both his first and last completed compositions were mass settings and he cultivated sacred vocal music extensively throughout his career except during the later 1780s when elaborate church music was inhibited by the Josephinian reforms and the first half of the 1790s in London ." <br /> <br /> "Notwithstanding their semi-private function for the Esterházy court Haydn's six late masses are consummate masterworks that exhibit no trace of provinciality or the 'occasional'. He exploits the complementary functions of soloists and chorus with inexhaustible freedom and telling effect; owing to his London experience the orchestra plays a newly prominent role. Four are in B perhaps because Bb was Haydn's usual highest pitch for choral sopranos he employed the same key for the final choruses of Parts 2-3 of The Creation and Part 1 of The Seasons. The other two are the only ones for which he provided descriptive titles: the Missa in tempore belli 'Mass in Time of War' 1796 in C features the bright trumpet-dominated sound typical of masses in this key; the Missa in angustiis 'Mass in times of Distress' later nicknamed 'Nelson Mass' 1798 in D minor and major is scored for a dark orchestra comprising only trumpets and timpani strings and organ. Both invoke the travails of the Napoleonic wars. The Agnus Dei of the former includes threatening timpani motifs and harsh trumpet fanfares while the Benedictus of the latter culminates in another harsh fanfare passage 'out of context'; both influenced the Agnus Dei in Beethoven's Missa solemnis. On the other hand except for the sombre Kyrie and Benedictus of the 'Nelson Mass' both are otherwise firmly optimistic; the ending of the latter is downright jaunty."

RISM H2563<br /> <br /> Laurette to a libretto by Francesco Puttini was first performed on 25 April 1779. <br /> <br /> "Contrary to claims made by Haydn's early biographers insufficent evidence supports the hypothesis that Haydn wrote this opera to fulfill an imperial commission for Vienna. The libretto represents a considerably shortened version of Puttini's text for Anfossi 1776 Rome already somewhat condensed especially in Act 3 for performances later that year in Venice as La pescatrice fedele and in Vienna 1777. Andrea Totti who sang Count Errico in Venice also performed in Haydn's opera at Eszterháza. . The opera was subsequently performed as Der flatterhafte Liebhaber oder Der Sieg der or Die wahre Beständigkeit in Pressburg Bratislava 1786-7 Budapest 1789 Vienna 1790 and Brno 1792 and with numerous changes as Laurette in Paris 1791." Caryl Clark in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "La vera costanza 1778-9 is the subject of implausible and conflicting anecdotes in Griesinger and Dies according to which it was originally commissioned for the Burgtheater in Vienna but scuttled by intrigue neither Joseph II nor his musicians were well-disposed towards Haydn; in fact it had its première at Eszterháza on April 25 1779. It was lost in the fire that largely destroyed the Eszterháza opera theatre on November 18 1779; the surviving version represents Haydn's reconstruction of the work from 1785."
