10637Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Original circular wooden canister possibly a piano wire case with inscription 'Cantemus Domino Dr. F. Liszt. XIX Aug. 1866' on the lid and '9 Juni 1867' on the inside of lid. Diameter 10 cm. Together with a small round token made of an ivory-like or fine bone material decorated with a miniature engraving and painting enhanced with sand and tiny clippings of grass depicting two angels and the letter 'L' interwoven with a cross. The token with a matching -sized round glass diameter 2.5 cm.<br><br><br />On August 10th of the year 1866 the composer completed the 'Tristis est anima mea' from his oratorio 'Christus' composed 1862 - 1866 and it is conceivable that the text on top of the lid 'Cantemus Domino Dr. F. Liszt. XIX Aug. 1866' was carved to commemorate that occasion. We have been unable to locate any event letter or anything else specifically for August 19th of that year. <br><br><br />The other date inscribed on the case June 9th of the following year was the day after the premiere of Liszt's 'Hungarian Coronation Mass' in Budapest. Following the 1867 Compromise between Austria and Hungary Liszt composed a festive Mass. Yet it took concerted action on the part of Hungarian musicians and public figures as well as the personal intervention of the Empress Elizabeth to have his "Hungarian Coronation" Mass performed instead of a work by a Viennese court composer at the coronation of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elizabeth as King and Queen of Hungary at the Church of Our Lady Matthias Church in Buda on 8 June 1867. The performers were from Vienna and Liszt was only present as a member of the audience in the gallery. It was only two years later that Liszt was able to conduct his Mass in Pest with Hungarian musicians and Ede Reményi was finally able to play the violin solos that had been intended for him from the start. unknown books

186036281Leipzig 1860. Oblong folio approximately 234 x 320 mm. 19 measures. Notated in dark brown ink on 9-stave rastrum-drawn paper on the first page of a bifolium. With several corrections in Liszt's hand and the addition of numbering both above and within the staves referring to additional measures possibly being directions to a copyist. <br/><br/>Pages 2 and 3 of the bifolium contain a manuscript copy of Felix Mendelssohn's Gondellied opus 19 number 6 entitled "Venetianisches Gondellied" at the head of the first page<br/><br/>Page 4 is ruled but blank except for a short 1-1/2 measure sketch in pencil in an unknown hand. <br/><br/>Moderate browning; somewhat creased and with some showthrough; small 7 mm tear to upper edge of first leaf; paperclip stain to upper corner of outer pages; minor remnants of mounting paper to final page. <br/><br/>In quite good condition overall. The Liszt manuscript would appear to be an accompaniment to a song. <br/><br/>The inclusion of the Mendelssohn copyist manuscript with the present Liszt autograph is quite interesting; it may in fact be in the hand of one of the copyists in Liszt's circle in Leipzig although this point will require further research. Liszt made arrangements of six of Mendelssohn's songs in the 1840s.<br/><br/>We would like to thanks Drs. Rena Mueller David Cannata and Alan Walker for their advice regarding this manuscript. unknown books
13802Used; Like New/Used; Like New. An interesting early autograph letter from the German composer and conductor to colleague Oskar Eichberg dealing with plans for a meeting of a musical organization in which they were both members and mentioning a great Liszt celebration in Leipzig which he suggests Eichberg and the other members should attend. Indicating that Eichberg had a connection to Liszt having given his oratorio Die Legende der Heiligen Elisabeth its Berlin premiere the previous year he mentions that "If Liszt is interested his interest and seal of approval would be very much appreciated." Full translation below. Penned densely on a postcard postmarked Leipzig 1875. One vertical crease mounting remnants light overall toning; otherwise in fine condition. 5.5 x 3.5 inches 13.9 x 9 cm.<br style="">Son of composer Carl Friedrich Zöllner Heinrich Zöllner "studied music at the Leipzig Conservatory 1875–7.From 1890 to 1898 he lived in the USA where he conducted the Deutscher Liederkranz in New York; his festival cantata Die neue Welt was awarded a prize at the 1892 Cleveland Sängerfest. On his return to Leipzig he succeeded Kretzschmar as director of music at the university and conducted the Paulus male choir; in 1902 he was Reinecke's successor as professor of composition at the conservatory and from 1903 music editor of the Leipziger Tageblatt.Zöllner's prolific output includes ten operas several large-scale works for chorus and orchestra symphonies overtures piano music and numerous smaller vocal pieces. He wrote many works for male chorus a medium popularized by his father but showed a preference for large forms and forces by adding a full orchestral accompaniment. His most successful opera Die versunkene Glocke was revived frequently up to 1939." Deane L. Root Grove Online.<br style="">Translated from the German: "For today a quick and hurried note that I've wanted to write for more than 8 days but only when I had first got the lay of the land. I have only managed to establish the inconvenient times. There will probably be no one of us here all August and the second half of July is also uncertain so: early to mid July or from the beginning of September on would be good times. 2 Nothing particular on our side. My wishes are simply to accomplish the various proposals which have already been discussed often enough and that seems to be over T.'s dead body! So in every respect Leipzig alone seems advisable and because of the great general fatigue this time without a great song and dance we must restrict ourselves to meeting in the smallest circles and reappraise the rest as much as possible. The big Liszt celebration is on the 20th. How would it be if you all came over here for that Then the Directorium etc. would be together. Everyone could be accommodated of course if we arrange it soon. When one asks too much one receives too many answers. Give me a brief answer about this date. If Liszt is interested his interest and seal of approval would be very much appreciated. R.C. will probably answer you apathetically. In any case whether he answers or not it would be best to come to him with a fait accompli and tell him about this date with the mention that this time no preparations are necessary rather it would be just getting the business done with no fuss. But since I am persona ingrata don't mention that I suggested it. Perhaps I can get things moving in the same vein with K. in the next few days. Looking forward to more with best wishes yours Dr. Z."<br style=""> unknown books
