1890142346Paris: Paul Ollendorff 1890. A fine "Banquet Years" association First edition an exceptional presentation copy to the proprietor of the famed Montmartre cabaret Le Chat Noir inscribed on the half-title "À Monsieur Rodolphe. Salis Hommage de l'auteur Ch. Gounod". This work a study of Mozart's Don Juan reveals its particular importance to Gounod and its continuing influence on his life and work: "The score. has had an influence on my whole life akin to a revelation; it was and has remained for me a kind of embodiment of dramatic and musical faultlessness; I consider it a work without a flaw of uninterrupted perfection" our translation. The connection between Gounod and a famous Parisian cabaretier may seem a surprising one at first but the composer had a very close relationship with Le Chat Noir contributing critical work to the establishment's weekly magazine; Ravel Satie Massenet and Fauré were also keen supporters of the cabaret. Also significantly themes from Gounod's Faust were used by Albert Tinchant when he arranged the score for La Tentation de Saint Antoine a shadow play - "féerie à grand spectacle en 2 actes et 40 tableaux" - based on Flaubert's book and designed by painter-designer Henri Rivière who developed these "ombres chinoises" for which Le Chat Noir became famous. Gounod's "Ronde du veau d'or" accompanies part three of the tableau L'Avarice entitled "La Bourse" and music from the final scene of Faust is employed for the "Apothéose". Octavo. Unopened in original cream printed stiff paper wrappers. Wrappers just a little rubbed very occasional spotting to the text an excellent copy.

Béraldi: Les Graveurs du XIXe Siècle Paris: 1885-92 XI-188. <br /> <br /> Faust an opera in five acts to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Carré's Faust et Marguerite and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust Part I in the French translation by Gérard de Nerval was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre Lyrique on March 15 1859. <br /> <br /> "Faust became particularly important to the French musical establishment at the end of the century. A work by a winner of the Prix de Rome that could claim to be thoroughly modern and personal in style at its première and go on to international stages was a significant enhancement to the musical prestige of a French operatic culture previously dominated by Meyerbeer and the none-too-easily exportable genre of opéra comique. Its national value was enhanced because after some initial assessments as 'Wagnerian' Gounod's compositional voice in Faust was heard as important in the definition of a 'French' musical aesthetic."

First Italian edition of the second version. OCLC no. 16852458.<br /> <br /> Faust was first performed at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on March 19th 1859 in a version with spoken dialogue; recitatives were added in 1860 and a ballet in 1869. The libretto by Barbier and Carre is based on Goethe but focuses on the love story between Faust and Marguerite. <br /> <br /> "The historical importance of Faust is that it sounded a new note in French music. The conventional pomposities of the grand opera which then dominated the stage were superseded by a more intimate and poetic approach. The fashion Gounod set was one of conversational exchange rather than declamation." James Harding: Gounod p. 114. Francesco Lucca [PNs 13851-13876] unknown

An expanded version of the opera was staged at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1866.<br /> <br /> "Gounod's 12 operas span a range of the generic types available in French lyric theatre. Smaller works such as Philémon et Baucis and La colombe strike a balance between spoken dialogue and set pieces typical of opéra comique of the second quarter of the 19th century: relatively small-scale numbers with many strophic types among them are joined by long passages of dialogue. Musical depictions of frivolity are relatively few by standards of the genre contributing to the general tenor of these pieces as sentimental comedy." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online.
