Title: Der Rosencavalier (Komödie für Musik) ... Op. 59. Autograph musical manuscript full score. [?]1910-11
Author: STRAUSS, Richard 1864-1949
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Large folio (400 x 300 mm.). 1 page. The opening 15 measures of the first act of the opera. Notated on the recto of the first leaf of a bifolium in black ink on 32-stave paper with watermark "Papeteries de Leysse pres Chambrey = F." With autograph titling, signature, and annotation "Erster Aufzug. Einleitung" and "Stürmisch bewegt" to head of page and with a dedicatory inscription to the director of the Paris Opéra and Opéra Comique, Jacques Rouché (1862-1957) to foot, signed and dated Garmisch, 10 January 1937. Some light browning and staining to lower margin; remnants of sewing thread to spine. In very good condition overall. Mueller von Asow I, 467. Trenner 227. Der Rosenkavalier, a comic opera in three acts to a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, was first performed on 26 January 1911 in Dresden at the Königliches Opernhaus with great success, quickly entering the international repertory. "The music glories in Hofmannsthal's text, which satisfied Strauss like nothing before. It was cheerful and knowing, fluent and down-to-earth, and yet made room for sumptuous effects and some elevated intensity. His 'symphonic' facility got full scope, but also his modern penchant for inserting chamber-scale music amid his opulent orchestral tapestries. In all previous operas (at least since Monteverdi's time), if there was dialogue with the quick cut-and-thrust of sophisticated conversation it was set as recitative, or else in formal ensembles; but such conversations make the very texture of Der Rosenkavalier, and here Strauss outdoes Wagner with dramatic music in which distinctions between recitative, arioso and formal set pieces are continuously blurred. Unaccompanied lines may have as much lyrical force - and even as much weight in the musical argument - as the big tunes, and Strauss tacks mercurially between those modes. Again and again he invests the uttered words with the poignant sense of their unspoken sub-text, and in unstinting sympathy with each of Hofmannsthal's characters. With this opera, Opera itself reached a new level of endeavour." David Murray in Grove Music Online.

Title: Alphabet Pour les tout petits
Author: Vérité, Marcelle
Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Very Good Plus
Description: Bruges: Desclée de Brouwer, 1947. First Edition. Hardcover. Paper pastedown. Very Good Plus. Josette Boland. ABC with a pietistic overtone. Notwithstanding the adherence to Roman Catholic Church sensibilities, the illustrations have a charm that can touch anyone, and few, even atheists and anti-Papists, won't find this a lovely ABC. 8vo. 22.5 by 19.5 cm. Unpaginated, 28 pages. Title, copyright page, then one page per letter, with color printed illustrations on every page with a letter. Examples of the religious bent of the ABC are "S" is for "Sainte", and "R", for "Roi", shows the three kings. Arguably there is also some anti-Semitic tropes, such as "H", for "Herod", lambasts the Jewish king. But by no means are all the letters so fraught. "T", for "Tulipe", is neutral. Color illustrations are quite bright, with a generous amount of gilt and silver. They could almost pass as pochoir, in our view. Each letter has accompanying text of six to eight lines of verse elaborating on whatever is being illustrated. The cover has some age toning around the perimeter and perhaps some very light inconspicuous stains. There is a small tape repair by the spine strip -- the tape is a close match to the spine and board paper pastedown and while it would ordinarily be regarded by us as a rather ugly amateur repair, we think best to leave it alone. A blank prelim leaf has a few stray colored pencil/crayon markings, and one can find a few insignificant light marks afterward, but overall the pages are close to immaculate, or come off as such. At the hinge between "H" and "I", one can espy the mull, or the spine innards. We again would choose to live with this instance of over-opening. In our view, the book is still a most attractive copy, and one will have difficulty locating a superior copy to this one.
