"Stressing the importance of intuition rather than reason of a kind of intuitive penetration into the innermost nature of the creative individual and the time in which he lived Rolland saw history primarily in terms of the noble superior soul of a Beethoven triumphing over every adversity or Handel as the heroic embodiment of the popular spirit of his age. Because of its universality its profundity and spontaneity music he believed was often the first to give expression to fundamental changes in society that were then translated into words and only later into actions."

The exact date of the composition of Opus 48 six songs for voice and piano has not been definitely established but the last was finished no later than March of 1802 and it appears that sketches of No. 3 survive from 1798. <br/><br/>These songs use texts by Christian Fürtegott Gellert and they relate to views of God and the divine presence as it relates to life death nature and man's love of his neighbor. The songs stand alone and are considered less as a cycle and more as a series of loosely-connected songs. <br/><br/>Unusual and a striking survival of a beautiful piece of music.

In very good condition with light toning to the text. An exceptional collection of the utmost rarity. 1786 saw the successful premiere of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in Vienna. Its reception in Prague later in the year was even warmer and this led to a second collaboration with Da Ponte: the opera Don Giovanni which premiered in October 1787 to acclaim in Prague but less success in Vienna in 1788. The two are among Mozart's most important works and are mainstays of the operatic repertoire today. In 1787 the young Ludwig van Beethoven spent several weeks in Vienna hoping to study with Mozart. No reliable records survive to indicate whether the two composers ever met. Beethoven would go on to become a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in classical music he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers with his best-known compositions including 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass the Missa solemnis; and an opera Fidelio.

182113728Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel 1821. First edition of arrangement for piano 4 hands. Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Beethoven's string quartet no. 5 in A major op. 18 no. 5 arranged for piano four hands. Oblong folio. 24.5 x 33 cm.  Lithographed. PN 3221odd pages only.  Title; Music 2-35 pp. blank. Scattered foxing throughout especially to early and late pages light water stain to upper quarter of last 10 pages closely trimmed along the upper edge without losses to music.  <br style="">Beethoven published his first set of six quartets in 1801 and with them established himself firmly as the successor to Mozart and Haydn in the great school of Viennese quartets. His quartet no. 5 is a particularly clear homage to Mozart modeled on his A major quartet KV 464 and based on the same four-movement structure with a second movement scherzo and a third movement theme and variations. Yet his distinctive voice and exuberant imagination come through in the extended codas and strong dynamic and rhythmic contrasts which he adds into the traditional form. The work appears here as arranged byFr. Mockwitz. Kinsky-Halm: p. 44 Breitkopf & Härtel unknown books
