Description
1 measure from the opening of the first movement. Notated in black ink on an album leaf, 203 x 123 mm. Dated "Montevideo le 27. v. [19]36." Inscribed to the Uruguayan political figure Alejandro Zorrilla de San Martin (1909-1987), prominent member of the Uruguayan National Party, with a reproduction photograph of Stravinsky and his son, Soulima, to head. Slightly browned; horizontal crease to upper portion just below Stravinsky's signature; manuscript identification and minor remnants of former mount to verso. The Firebird (L'Oiseau de feu; Zhar-ptitsa), a fairy tale ballet in two scenes, was first performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris at the Opéra on 25 June 1910, conducted by Gabriel Pierné. The original choreography was by Michel Fokine, with sets and costumes by Alexandre Benois; this seminal work led to further important Stravinsky-Diaghilev collaborations including Petrushka (1911) and The Rite of Spring (1913).

Leipzig: Jul. Heinr. Zimmermann [PN Z. 5021], 1911. Folio. Original publisher's green wrappers printed in dark brown. [1] (title printed in dark brown), 2-104, [ii] (blank) pp. Title in French and Russian to upper. Publisher's catalogues of the works of Balakirev and Liapounov to verso of upper; "Interessante Klaviermusik" to recto and verso of lower wrapper. Wrappers slightly worn and foxed; small ink stain to head of upper with small handstamp to foot. Uniform light browning; occasional foxing, primarily to title and several blank margins. First Edition. Balakirev began his Piano Concerto in E-flat major in 1861-2 but left it incomplete, resuming work on it in 1906. It remained incomplete at the time of his death, but was finished by his devoted pupil and friend, composer Sergei Lyapunov. "Balakirev was a crucial figure in Russian music. He extended and developed the fusion which Glinka had accomplished between on the one hand the common-practice music of his day and on the other some musical elements of Russian character and others of a boldly experimental nature. Balakirev established patterns which could be used to express overtly national feeling in music. In his own compositions he demonstrated how this could be done, laying the basis for a rich repertory spanning all the contemporary genres." Stuart Campbell in Grove Music Online.

1845. GRANDVILLE, J.J. Cent Proverbes. With text by Amadee Achard, Taxile Delord, Emile Forguesvand Arnould Fremy. [4], 398, [2] pp., illustrated with wood engraved frontispiece, 50 full page wood engravings hor-texte, plus head-and-tail pieces by Grandville. 8vo, 228 x 140 mm., bound in publisher's polychrome cloth binding. Paris: Fournier, 1845. A fine copy of this delightful Grandville work, preserved in the scarce publisher's polychrome binding. While this book lacks the surreal qualities of Un Autre Monde, the presence of a substantial number of anthropomorphic illustrations in the manner of those which had appeared in Scenes de la vie privee et public des animaux, elevate it above the typical "romantique" book, and make it a worthy addition to the Grandville oeuvre. An exceptionally clean copy. Renonciat 178-183.

1900. Women Suffrage: Original UK Parliamentary Franchise (Extension of voting rights to Women). A proposed Bill for extending the Parliamentary Franchise to Women. Ordered, by the House of Commons, to be Printed, 2 February 1900. 2 pages, 13 ¼ x 8 ½ in. At this time, England was under the rule of Queen Victoria, and this proposed bill acknowledged women's property owners as individuals who should have voting rights. The bill reads: "...every woman who is the inhabitant occupier as owner or tenant of any dwelling-house, tenement, or building within the borough or county where such occupation exists, shall be entitled to be registered as a voter...to vote for a member or members to serve in Parliament." Light handling dents. Small brown stain at the bottom edge of large print side. Very good condition. British women's property owners did not gain voting rights until 1918, but most women were not allowed to vote until 1928 when universal suffrage passed.

"Bingham is a little like the gambler. Crowded together in their gulch without bringing-up or ear-washing, the people of the camp have evolved into a community, though it took a long time and there were a lot of graves in the local Boot Hill before the transformation came about. Maybe the copper sulphide in the soil destroyed the germs of evil in those old rowdies as it destroyed the typhus germs in the garbage-laden creek. Or maybe the camp simply grew up. At any rate Bingham gets along better with the rest of the state now." - Wallace Stegner 'Mormon Country' p.268.

[nice tight copy, uncreased spine, light external scuffing to covers, some faint diagonal soft creasing at bottom right corner of front cover, agency name rubber-stamped on front endpaper]. Mass Market PB "An Original Gold Medal Book," one of many turned out by this prolific author of trashy pulp fiction during the 1950s and 1960s. This one is about a "guy who was known as Big Daddy Sex, sniffing out all the broads for miles around," and with some serious anger-management issues, to wit: "He'd been a blister of hurt and rages, ready to burst, and even then she'd [his long-suffering lover, self-described as his "doormat, secretary, armor, weapon, everything you needed"] known he needed something more." (The "something more" being Joanne Stark, "tease and tramp," whose "wildness was enough to warn a guy smart enough to sense the warning" -- which our protagonist, Clay Stuart, apparently was not.) .
