First Viennese edition second issue. LvBWV I p. 583. Hoboken 2 391 first issue. Hirsch IV 344.<br /> <br /> The arrangement of this orchestral work is by Beethoven himself. It was first published by Birchall in London in January of 1816. The Viennese edition by Steiner was first published in the following month. <br /> <br /> "Beethoven's 'Battle Symphony' more correctly entitled Wellington's Victory of the Battle of Victoria op. 91 came into being as the result of an idea by Maelzel that Beethoven should write a work for his latest invention the panharmonicon a sort of mechanical orchestra. The timing coincided with Wellington's defeat of Napoleon in 1813. . It is a programmatic piece for a large orchestra with a battery of military and Turkish percussion instruments including cannons and muskets. The first section opens with an English bugle call followed by the patriotic tune Rule Britannia answered by a French bugle call and marching tune known in Britain as For he's a jolly good fellow. Then comes a depiction of the battle. Part 2 called 'Victory Symphony' begins and ends with martial music but is otherwise based largely on the British national anthem which is treated fugally."

First published by Breitkopf & Härtel in November of 1810. <br /> <br /> "Beethoven's early achievements as composer and performer show him to be extending the Viennese Classical tradition that he had inherited from Mozart and Haydn. As personal affliction - deafness and the inability to enter into happy personal relationships - loomed larger he began to compose in an increasingly individual musical style and at the end of his life he wrote his most sublime and profound works."

Weinhold-Dorfmüller p. 225 and plate 8b. Hoboken 2 120. Hirsch IV 361. The first issue is distinguished by the printed "Musikalische Anzeige" to the recto of the first leaf of music.<br /> <br /> "Op. 101 is among the most difficult of the sonatas and Beethoven himself once described it as 'hard to play'. The challenge of this work lies not only in the complex polyphony of the march and finale but in the delicate narrative sequence of the whole. Twice we pass from spheres of dream-like reflection into the vigorous musical landscapes of the march and finale. . Few of Beethoven's pieces exerted such a strong spell on the Romantic composers as this A major Sonata. Mendelssohn imitated it in his op. 6 Sonata; Wagner found in its opening movement the ideal of his 'infinite melody;' Schumann was captivated by its march-like second movement. Along with the cello sonatas op. 102 and the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte the A major Sonata marks a major transition in Beethoven's style pointing unmistakably to the unique synthesis achieved in words of his last decade." Kinderman: Beethoven p. 197.<br /> <br /> ". spiritually Op. 27 and Op. 101 are as far apart as they are in years. In the later work all is expression nothing mere display or technical contrivance. There are difficulties demanding brilliant playing to be sure and the writing has the ingenuity of the completely self-possessed master; but it is due precisely to this self-possession that Beethoven is now able to concentrate his whole creative mind on emotional expression in the most poetical terms of which music is capable. The means by which this is attained through manipulation of the composer's craft and put into logical shape by his instinctive knowledge of how to handle and adjust form came to him quite naturally by this time provided that he was seized by the fever of irresistible inspiration as in this glorious work." Blom: Beethoven's Pianoforte Sonatas Discussed p. 195. S. A. Steiner und Comp. [PN S. et C. 2661] unknown

Hoboken 2 386. Weinhold-Dörfmuller p. 223. <br /> <br /> "In dedicating this sonata to Count Lichnowsky Beethoven rallied that nobleman on the occasion of his engagement. Qualms were alleged to be represented in the vehemently pathetic first movement. It was with no intention of throwing light on that movement that Beethoven called it 'a contest between head and heart.' . The whole point of the sonata lies in the contrast between a movement full of passionate and lonely energy and a movement devoted to the utmost luxuriance of lyric melodies developed in Rondo form."

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.

The full score scarcely comes to auction and typically sells between $8000 - $10000 meaning it would retail for 50% higher or more. I cannot find a true first edition copy of the full score of the 7th symphony nor any first edition arrangement currently for sale.

Page 1 is blank an error by the printer as it normally contains a music advertisement per Kinsky indicating this copy is an unrecorded state in bibliographic descriptions. It is unknown if this state would precede the copies with the advertisement on page 1. <br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> The arrangement is in Good condition. Soiled and darkened cloth. Firm binding tight pages. Rubbed extremities bumped corners. Foxing and toned pages. Quite a bit of insect nibbling to bottom margin of multiple pages not affecting the musical notes or text heaviest to first two leaves. Signs of handling like some marginal paper creases bent corners a few stains. Former owner name inscription in a modern hand on FFEP and in a contemporary hand at bottom of title page. Small staple holes along gutter margin from where the pages were removed from the original wraps and rebound.<br /> <br /> BACKGROUND<br /> <br /> Beethoven composed his Seventh Symphony between 1811-1812. The first performance of the symphony occurred on December 8 1813 in the University Hall in Vienna. Beethoven was living in Vienna at the time. The full score consists of 224 engraved pages of musical notes. Long-time Beethoven publishing collaborator S.A. Steiner and Company bought the publishing rights from Beethoven in 1815 and published the full score along with multiple arrangements simultaneously in 1816 under the supervision and approval of Beethoven. An announcement by Steiner in 1816 stated "The work is being released simultaneously in arrangements for every conceivable format." Kinsky. <br /> <br /> PIANO FOUR HANDS ARRANGEMENTS<br /> <br /> This is a piano duet where two pianists play together on a single piano simultaneously using all four hands to navigate the keyboard. It was particularly popular in the 19th century because it allowed family members and friends to collaboratively play composed works or arrangements on the home piano. This format balances technical skill with the timing of melodic interplay. I encourage one to look up on YoutTube "Beethoven: 7th symphony 1st movement for 4 hands" to get an idea of how this arrangement would look and sound.<br /> <br /> All in all this is an exceptionally rare first edition first printing of a masterful Beethoven arrangement for his 7th symphony op. 92 for piano. It is also the only example I can find of an unidentified state in which the printer did not print the musical advertisement on page 1 leaving it blank instead. <br /> <br /> . S. A.
