187514164Berlin - Wien: Schlesinger-Haslinger Ca. 1875. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Score of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody no. 12 "A J. Joachim" with the ownership stamp of the important twentieth-century German pianist Elly Ney who has also penned "12. Ungarische Rhapsodie" in blue ink at the head. A few paper repair within edges lightly nicked with small tears spine reinforced with green cloth overall very good. There are no markings within the score. <br style="">Elly Ney was one of the 20th century's outstanding pianists and at 16 won the Mendelssohn prize 1900—in a contest of which the famous Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim was one of the judges.  The present work by Liszt is dedicated to Joachim. <br>Of Ney's great performing Willhelm Kempff wrote: "My ears still hear her melodious voice with its unmistakable hint of her Rhineland origins which had the gift of establishing immediate contact with everyone she spoke to. This happened even more intensely when she stepped onto the concert platform. Just one mysterious chord Beethoven's D minor sonata for instance and the listener was drawn into her magnetic field. What then ensued cannot and should not be described in words nor should it be scientifically dissected. Those who had ears heard for themselves. But that was by no means the end of the matter. A realisation continued to resonate in her listeners' hearts as it had begun to resonate from the moment this greatest of performers stepped onto the platform - the realisation that artistry of this quality draws its strength from roots that have their being in the unfathomable depths of the human soul."<br style=""> Schlesinger-Haslinger hardcover books

1871125188Leipzig: J. Schuberth & Co 1871. 1871 or that era. Folio.

Tan paper over boards; Dark brown cloth at spine; 129 pp. comprised totally of a musical score. Oversize 15 x 21.5 inches and heavy 7.5 pounds / 3.4 kilos. The mass was composed by Franz Liszt between 1855 and 1858 for the dedication of the new part of the cathedral at Esztergom Hungary by Archbishop Janos Scitovszky. Liszt conducted the work and the organist was Alexander Winterberger. The dedication concert the work's premiere was on August 31 1856. The reverberation time in the cathedral is 9 seconds Wikipedia creating the potential for an acoustic nightmare in performing a piece of this magnitude! The performance was attended by 4000 guests including Emperor Franz Joseph I and other imperial majesties of Austria-Hungary ecclesiastical dignitaries well-known musicians and members of the press. After the premiere Liszt and others continued to make various small changes and corrections to the original score. The first publication was in 1859 by the Imperial Printing House Vienna followed by subsequent editions and variations piano reductions etc. by J. Schuberth 1871. G. Schirmer 1909. etc. This particular edition/volume contains NO individual parts violin flute soprano etc. for actual performance but IS an actual complete copy of the entire conductor's score meaning that it includes all the orchestral organ vocal soloist SATB and choral SATB parts with vocal text all together for a conductor to use in rehearsal or performance. This edition was published by J. Schuberth & Co. no date likely in Leipzig rather than New York or Philadelphia as the names of the instruments are listed in German and the price on the front cover is listed in Thaler an old German/European coinage. The work is complete: Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus Benedictus Agnus Dei with all parts readable even where margins are chipped. An excellent copy for the conducting student Liszt afficionado musical researcher or someone interested in Hungarian/Esztergom ecclesiastical history. For an excellent article by Morten Solvik on Liszt's writing of this work see this link from the American Symphony Orchestra's web site. J. Schuberth & Co hardcover books

Unlike the E flat major Concerto however it does not easily lend itself to a division into separate movements; neither does it conform to the opposite kind of structural pattern evinced by the B minor Sonata-a single long movement constructed on the principles of sonata first-movement form. It is possible that Liszt was here aiming at a type of structure intermediate between the two and this may explain why the Concerto may seem to have a certain ambiguity of form."
