Front wrapper detached and worn lacking back wrapper stain to first and second violin parts foxing to final leaf of cello part. 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." Oxford Dictionary of National Biography<br/><br/>These string quartets in A major F minor and B-flat major are written for two violins viola and cello and were written in 1788 for Haydn's violinist friend Johann Tost.

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

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 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."

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
