reservation for an orchestra seat on your behalf at the premiere<br />
of Rantzau (Mascagni). With autograph envelope. Slightly worn;<br />
creased at folds. (20683) $365.<br />
"In the 1890s and the early 1900s [de Lucia's] fame was<br />
increasingly linked with the impassioned tenor heroes of the new<br />
verismo school... Mascagni gratefully chose him also for the<br />
premières of his I Rantzau (1892, Florence), Silvano (1895,<br />
Milan) and Iris (1898, Rome)... Between 1902 and 1922 he made<br />
some 400 records. This extensive legacy (much of it reissued on<br />
CD) is valuable because it represents an otherwise vanished<br />
style. De Lucia's technique and vocal control are astonishing, as<br />
are also his free, spontaneous and vivid treatment of musical text<br />
and ornament and his variety of nuance and tone-colour." Grove<br />

performing some piano pieces, including the Trio-Noveletten by<br />

has no compositions for cello and piano. I have only written<br />
several pieces for cello with piano accompaniment, which he<br />
states are not suitable for a concert. He says that he cannot accept<br />

this in person. Traces of early mounting; slightly worn and<br />

order to make up for what I could not fulfill this time. He wishes<br />
Benedict all the best and great success with his concert, and says<br />
I would like to ask you to compose another scene for me when<br />
you feel like it, and to send it to me in Germany, so that next year<br />
I can perform it for the English concert goers. Slightly worn and<br />

A Bohemian baritone, "Pisek's voice was rich and expressive over<br />
a range of two octaves, and his use of the mezza voce and falsetto<br />
was particularly admired. Some critics considered his singing<br />
mannered and his acting artificial and exaggerated. Berlioz<br />
(Mémoires), however, had a very high opinion of his talents, and<br />
considered him 'perhaps the greatest dramatic singer of the age'.<br />
He was also a talented pianist and a composer of songs." Grove<br />

signed to Herr Thorn. 2 pp. on a postal card. Dated Munich,<br />
January 26, 1916. In German, with translation. Since Herr<br />
Klimmerborn, the only ones who sent me best wishes for the New<br />
Year were the City Orchestra... I was particularly happy to read<br />
the good things you had to say about my successor. My<br />
correspondence with him is active and friendly and I believe that<br />
he sees right through the elements that you describe and maybe<br />
does not approach people with quite the same level of trust as I,<br />
unfortunately, did. Subjects like Anders - Schweinefleisch - who<br />
owe me their position and everything and then behave<br />
abominably. Steinbach writes that he is still recuperating from his<br />
illness and has had to cancel all of his concerts of the season due<br />
to a relapse of the heart condition that started in Cologne; he<br />
died approximately eight months after this letter was written.<br />
(20663) $150.<br />
"As a conductor, besides performing Brahms, Steinbach did a<br />
great deal to promote the instrumental works of J.S. Bach and of<br />
contemporary composers, in particular Max Reger. As a<br />
composer, Steinbach was less important. His output includes<br />
lieder, piano pieces and chamber music; music for the closing<br />
scene of Goethe's Faust; and orchestral arrangements of German<br />
dances by Mozart." Grove online<br />

469. TIPPETT, Sir Michael 1905-1998. Autograph letter<br />
signed and dated June 15, 1956. 1 p. Folio. To Otmar Reisel.<br />
Written from Tidebrook in Wadhurst, Sussex. In both English and<br />
German. With autograph envelope with Tippett's autograph<br />
signature and address to verso. The autograph you want will be at<br />
the bottom of this letter. There is only a sonata for Piano, which<br />
is rather difficult to play. That is, three movements are difficult<br />
and one is easy. The remainder of the letter is in German and<br />
informs his correspondent that the music is avialable from his<br />
German publisher, Schott, in Mainz. Very slightly worn; creased<br />
at folds; envelope slightly worn and soiled. (21006) $375.<br />
Tippett is, no doubt, referring to his Piano Sonata no.1, composed<br />
in 1936-8 and revised in 1942, in this letter. "[Tippett's]<br />
importance lies not only in his revitalizing contribution to the<br />
genres of symphony, concerto, opera, string quartet and sonata,<br />
but also in his awareness - displayed in his writings as well as his<br />
compositional practice - of the complexities of the modern<br />
condition and the artistís role in relation to this." Grove online<br />

First Edition of Op. 49, No. 3<br />
513. WEBER, Carl Maria von 1786-1826. [Op. 49, no. 3].<br />
Grande Sonata pour le Pianoforte. Berlin: Adolphe Martin<br />
Schlesinger [PN] 236, [1817]. Oblong folio. Unbound. [1] (title),<br />
2-29 pp. Engraved. "Gravée par Ch: Janicot" to foot of page 3.<br />
Early signature to title. Moderately foxed; small binder's holes to<br />
spine. Signature trimmed. (17125) $425.<br />
First Edition. Jähns 220. Hoboken 15, 328. "Once again, to<br />
compare [the piano sonatas 2 and 3] with those being written by<br />
Beethoven, who was finishing his Op. 101 in A major in the same<br />
November, is absurd. But if we except Beethoven as an isolated<br />
phenomenon, Weber's achievement as a keyboard composer<br />
beside that of his contemporaries is extraordinary. He towers<br />
over them, and in his anticipation of the new worlds of feeling to<br />
be explored by Schumann, Chopin and Mendelssohn in their<br />
piano works, he need fear no comparisons at all. The finale of<br />
No. 3 has the gentle Romanticism and indeed much of the<br />
technique of a Schmann Novelette..." Warrack: Carl Maria von<br />
Weber, p. 172.<br />
514. WEBER. [Op. 65]. Aufforderung zum Tanze; Rondo<br />

bumped. (20845) $450.<br />
First Edition. Jähns 58. Hoboken 15, 272. "Of the many cantata<br />
and cantata-like pieces that Weber composed, four have special<br />
significance for his career. A major work from his time in<br />
Stuttgart is Der erste Ton (1808, revised 1810), based on a poem<br />
by Rochlitz about God's creation of sound after he had created
the world. For the most part Weber conceived the piece as a<br />
spoken declamation accompanied by orchestral music that<br />
characterizes the different images in the poem (chaos, creation,<br />
order, the sounds of nature etc.); singing voices enter only at the<br />
end in a closing choral fugue that Weber revised under Vogler's<br />
supervision in 1810." Grove online. Weber dedicated this piece to<br />
his friend and fellow composer Franz Danzi (1763-1826).<br />

Hirsch IV 1298. Fuld pp. 395-396. Hoboken 15, 367. First<br />
performed on April 12, 1826 at Covent Carden in London. "The<br />
whole nature of Oberon, then, both in its subject and in the<br />
method of treating it which Weber was led to adopt, is orchestral<br />
rather than vocal; yet the freshness and charm of his melodies is<br />
if anything at its peak in the disjointed numbers which comprise<br />
it." Warrack: Carl Maria von Weber, p. 326.<br />
