RISM G2852 not distinguishing among issues. <br/><br/>"The classical orientation of Calzabigi evident in Orfeo ed Euridice from the moment the curtain rose on the almost archaeologically recreated ancient funerary ritual e.g. the threefold calling of the name of the deceased coloured the entirety of his collaboration with Gluck. Despite the ambiguous attributions of the prefaces signed by the composer it is clear that Gluck largely shared his librettist's classical enthusiasms. It is revealing that Gluck sought out subject matter from Greek tragedy independently of Calzabigi after the latter's departure from Vienna - most probably with his inner conviction mixing with a desire to exploit the goût grec then prevailing in France. Calzabigi's poetry was almost completely devoid of metaphors and similes and placed a mere three characters in a fluid context of dances and choruses or both simultaneously. The action was reduced to essentials: a demonstration of the persuasive powers of music and a cautionary tale on the dangers of curiosity with Orpheus bewailing the loss of his wife already as the curtain rose. Gluck's approach as composer was no less radical particularly in his near-complete elimination of coloratura and of opening ritornellos in the solo numbers. Above all the opera was remarkable in its emphasis on continuity which was achieved chiefly through the enchaining of harmonically open-ended sections of music and through the complete avoidance of recitativo semplice in favour of orchestrally accompanied recitatives so as to avoid sharp contrasts of texture with the set pieces. This continuity and the nearly syllabic vocal writing were calculated to prevent applause and thus also to promote the audience's absorption in the spectacle."

1916WRCLIT67956Np 1916. Original silver print of formal photographic portrait. 175 x 125mm. Mounted an evidently extracted from an album amicorum or scrapbook with another party's photo and inscription on verso. Mount a bit chipped and edge-torn faint crease on photo otherwise good. Enclosed in oversize half-morocco slipcase. Inscribed twice by Clemens 1874-1962 the sole surviving child of Samuel Clemens. On the photograph itself she has written: "To Miss Howland with the cordial wishes of Clara Clemens." The recipient is further identified by the inscription on the verso from Alma Gluck the Romanian-born American soprano accompanied by a clipped portrait photo from a magazine to "Enid Howland." Additionally Clemens has inscribed the mount: "Most cordially Yours Clara Clemens Sept. 16th 1916." Clara was after her father's death the controversial custodian of his estate and literary rights. She published her biography of him in 1931 along with books on other subjects and worked at a career in singing with which this artifact is likely connected. unknown books

Overall fine. 13.5 x 10 inches 34.3 x 25.3 cm. Hirsch IV 877. WorldCat records only three copies.<br>Mozart's Requiem remains one of his best-loved works not little because of the mythology surrounding it. Mozart left it unfinished when he died in December 1791. The completion by Franz Xaver SüÃmayr made in order to fulfill the Count von Walsegg's commission of the piece is still generally the completion performed today although several modern musicologists have offered alternative completions. The first French performance took place in Paris in 1804 with the present title page giving the date of 30 Frimaire An 13 in the French Revolutionary calendar.<br>Gluck's De Profundis is a short setting of Psalm 130 for SATB choir and small orchestra with an unusual and low instrumentation oboe viola horn three trombones cello and continuo. The work was first performed at Gluck's own funeral in November 1787 conducted by none other than Antonio Salieri. The use of trombones with the associations of death and the afterlife make it a fitting pairing with Mozart's Requiem. A L'Imprimerie du Conservatoire Faubourg Poissonniere No. 152 hardcover books

The opera had a great success immediately and even Grimm wrote of it - I do not know whether this is melody but perhaps it is something better. When I hear Iphigénie I forget I am at the opera; I seem to be listening to a Greek tragedy with music by Lekain and Mlle Clarion. It was the crowning point of Gluck's career. Guillard had provided an excellent libretto more classical than Goethe's poem less Christian and more ruthless; and Gluck had seized on the contrast between Scythians and Greeks upon the perfectly dramatic figures of Iphigenia and Orestes and had produced a work which both re-created a part of Greek tragedy and at the same time foretold a new world."
