OCLC 916160097 one copy only at Baldwin Wallace University. Riemenschneider 1936.<br /> <br /> "On the whole the St Matthew Passion is a considerably more unified piece than the St John for which the primary reason is its use of Picander's text. Its greater textual and musical scale allows more space for the arias and 'madrigal' pieces in which the coupling of arioso with aria is an especially characteristic feature. Another special feature is the way the strings provide an accompanying 'halo' in Jesus's recitatives. The pervading cyclical formation of the work from the interrelating of the chorales tonal organization and paired movements is in some respects even more pronounced than in the St John Passion while it lacks the earlier work's 'architectural' centre. After 1729 the St Matthew Passion had at least two more performances under Bach's direction. In 1736 he made some important changes chief among them emphasizing the separation of the two choruses and orchestras by division of the continuo exchanging the simple chorale at the end of part i for 'O Mensch bewein' and replacing the lute in 'Komm süsses Kreuz' with bass viol. The additional alterations of about 1742 and 1746 were mainly a matter of meeting practical performing conditions." Christoph Wolff in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> Daniel Friedrich Eduard Wilsing 1809-1893 was a German Romantic composer highly regarded by Robert Schunmann. Chez Ed. Bote & G. Bock. G.

181917280Hans Georg Nägeli; Longman Clementi & Co.; Clementi Banger Collard Davis & Collard. 1819. 1st Edition . Book Hardcover. Good. Two volumes of musical scores with engraved title pages including Nägeli's German version for the preludes and fugues. The date given is from an inscription; the printing date can be no later. Landscape345x250mm. The binding is half leather and marbled boards which are very worn but sturdy and recently expertly re-attached by Sycamore Bookbinders of Eastwood re-laying the original spines. Text pages yellowed but essentailly in very good condition end-papers creased. Gilt decoratively bordered labels on the front boards: BACH & KEEBLE'S FUGUES on one volume R.Turle on the volume of Keeble's Select Pieces. On the blank leaf after the second engraved title page of the Bach fugues is inscribed James Turle 1819 giving a latest date for the printing. It seems that the two volumes which should obviously be kept together passed from him to R.Richard Turle who arranged for the binding. The second tile page of the Bach correctly describes the fugues as "2er Theil" in case this helps expert dating of this first or early printed edition. Before precise pagination a few words on the Turle family gleaned from the internet. They were in the late 18th century shopkeepers and merchants in the English Somerset town of Taunton and dedicated amateur musicians; several sons born around the turn of the century to Joseph and Elizabeth and to brother I think James became accomplished organists arrangers for organ and composers some of whose work is still played today. They include James 1802-1882 who signed the one volume or was it his father Richard 1790-1867 who will be the R.Turle of these volumes and William 1795-1834. Richard and William sought their fortunes as organists and cathedral choirmasters in London and beyond. Opportunities for professional musicians were not plentiful in England in their day.
