Description
London: Printed for Jacob Tonson, 1709. Early edition. Bound in full polished calf by J. Larkins, rebacked in cloth with much of the leather spine laid down. All edges stained yellow. Marbled end papers. Measuring 190 x 115mm and collating complete with the engraved frontis portrait of Sir John Suckling: [8], 376 (with page 355 misnumbered 335). Ownership signature to front endpaper. Early paper repairs to chips and tears along header of title, not affecting text. Toned throughout, with some pages trimmed tight with no loss to running titles or page numbers. A pleasing copy. Cambridge educated and born to privilege, Sir John Suckling inherited his father's considerable estates at age 18. "He became a prominent figure at court with a reputation for being the greatest gallant of his time, and the greatest gamester of both bowling and cards; he is credited with inventing the game of cribbage...Suckling was the author of four plays...His reputation as a poet rests on his lyrics, the best of which justifies the description of him as 'natural, easy Suckling.' He inherited from Donne the tradition of the anti-platonic deflation of high flown love sentiments and can be cynically chiding" (Britannica). Contained in this volume is a sampling of his works across genres. ESTC T99823.

Vienne: au Magazin de Musique du Mr. Hoffmeister, 1785. Oblong folio. Sewn. [i] (title), 2-23, [i] (blank) pp. Engraved throughout. Slightly worn; some moderate staining to blank margins of title; occasional small stains and minor soiling and foxing to blank outer margin. First Edition. OCLC 1104858831. RISM V353 and VV353 (one copy only in the U.S., at the Library of Congress). Vanhal was a Bohemian composer, violinist, and teacher, active in present-day Austria and Croatia. "His present reputation is derived mostly from his symphonies, his many published keyboard pieces, and the comments of writers. ... From the studies carried out so far, it is clear that Wanhal was one of the best composers of the time - innovative, imaginative, and original. He was also influential, but to what extent is difficult to assess. Haydn was presumably familiar with the ten Wanhal symphonies preserved in the Esterházy collection (H-Bn), but there is more affinity between Wanhal's style and Mozart's. Comparisons with other contemporary composers are necessary for an accurate account of Wanhal's role. However, he unquestionably contributed significantly to music in Europe, and his published music, issued by many publishers, stimulated the public and the entire industry. His career, which led him from bondage to comfortable independence, reflects the influence of Emperor Joseph II and the democratic principles he espoused in Viennese society. Wanhal's music, in turn, contributed to the development of Viennese musical style." Paul R. Bryan, revised by Halvor K. Hosar and Allan Badley in Grove Music Online.
