She appeared in London in 1786 as Rosetta in Love in a Village and her success was immediate and catapulted her into a long and illustrious career in England and Italy. Many operas were written for her and her colorful personal life gave rise to much gossip.

CORELLI, Arcangelo (1653-1713) EXCEPTIONALLY RARE BROADSIDE. London, late 17th or early 18th-century. 12.25" h x 8" w (311 mm x 203 mm). Matted in black linen with a total measurement of 16.75"+ h x 14.25"+ w (425 mm x 362 mm). A handsome broadside with decorative borders, elegant typescript and a portrait of Corelli in the upper left. Edges finely trimmed, overall excellent condition.

The broadside promotes a new publication of the music of Corelli (1653-1713) who was the supreme violinist of his period and established the preeminence of the violin. As a composer he is a key figure in the development of the sonata and the concerto.

The broadside states that "Notice is hereby Given to all Gentlemen and Lady's Lovers of Music. That whereas ye Composition of that Celebrated Author of Musick Arcangelo Corelli Have been Eacj'd and Printed in Holland far from ye Neatness and Corectness due to the performance of so great a Master (as all the curious Performers of Musick have lately observ'd) It is thereby propos'd by Richard Meares Musical Instrument maker and Musick printer in St. Paul's Church-Yard (Encourag'd thereunto by the present Masters eminent in that Science) to engrave finely upon Coppery four Opera's in four parts, of that Excellent Master, containing 300 copper plates, and print the same upon better and much thicker paper than those done in Holland, as far exceeding these Editions as they have done ours Stamped on Pewter in England (a Sample of which performance may be seen at his Shop)." It then goes on to list the prices

Wurlitzer-Bruck Page 11 11/3/2016 11 and notes that the four works have a printed subscriber's list and will be presented in a deluxe binding.

This broadside is highly unusual in its explicit criticism of Dutch printing, somewhat odd considering that 17th-century Holland is usually described in superlatives for just about everything from ship building to painting. Although Richard Meares might be referring to what he honestly considered poor quality printing, he also might just be promoting his own business. Meares (1647–1725) was one of the most prominent makers of stringed instruments of his time, now known particularly for his viola da gambas.

DUKE, VERNON - SCORE INSCRIBED TO BALANCHINE DUKE [VLADIMIR DUKELSKY], Vernon (1903-1969) Dédicaces. Facsimile of the manuscript. 64 pp. Scored for piano and voice (lyrics in French). Black buckram. Mostly unsewn, some pages very lightly soiled but overall quite fine.

Inscribed by Duke to the famous choreographer George Balanchine in blue crayon. Marked throughout with section numbers and dynamics and with penciled corrections and penciled alternatives on pages 42, 43 and 59. Orchestral indications in pencil on pages 59-63. Dated in ink at the end "1934-1936."

Vernon Duke (1903 – 1969) was an American composer known for some of the best- loved American standards such as Taking a Chance on Love, I Can't Get Started, April in Paris, What Is There To Say and Autumn in New York. Duke collaborated with lyricists such as "Yip" Harborg, Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin, Ogden Nash and Sammy Cahn.

At the suggestion of George Gershwin, Vladimir Dukelsky used the pseudonym "Vernon Duke" for his popular songs, but used his Russian name for all his other works. He was championed by Serge Koussevitsky and his play "Cabin in the Sky" was choreographed by Balanchine, which may be where the acquaintance originated.

GERSHWIN, George (1898-1937) "MAN I LOVE" COVER WITH AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURE "George Gershwin". 14.25" h x 11.25" w. 1 p. Somewhat soiled, a little creased, chipping to left and right margins, overall good.

An original full and very large signature of George Gershwin, signed in blue crayon on a heavy- stock tan cover that was obviously from a working score. Above the signature Gershwin has penned "The Man I Love", in capital letters and underlining each word. He has also written the title on the top of the cover in pencil. An additional title in another hand appears beneath this, crossed out: "Rosalie - New Songs/Out Saturday" and "George" penned in the same hand to the left of the "Man I Love" title. A number 8 appears on the top right, apparently indicating the position of the song in a musical.

Gershwin wrote "The Man I Love" for his 1924 musical Lady, Be Good but then didn't use it. In 1927, the song was initially incorporated into the Ziegfeld musical Rosalie but then not used for that either. Subsequently, it was published separately and became one of Gershwin's most famous songs. An unusual item; rare to find such a large signature, and an association with one of his much loved songs.

HANDEL COMMEMORATION CONCERTS - CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNTS London, May 6, 24, 27, 1784. 18.50" + h x 24.75" + w. Overall excellent condition.

Three complete, contemporary newspapers with articles about the enormously important Handel commemorative concerts which took place in Westminster Abbey in May and June of 1784, dated May 6th, 24th and 27, 1784, giving an overview of the events leading up to and a review of the performances.

The May 6th paper announces "In commemoration of HANDEL, Who was buried in Westminster Abbey on the 21st of April, 1759" at which "A GRAND MISCELLANEOUS CONCERT of VOCAL and INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, consisting entirely of Pieces selected from the Works of HANDEL" will be performed and "... the Orchestra will consist of at least FOUR HUNDRED PERFORMERS."

Additionally, the May 24th paper once again announces the commemoration on the front page, and inside, extols "...the directors have at length succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations a band has been got together superior to any thing of the kind ever attempted." It then admonishes subscribers "No servants will be allowed to keep places, nor will they be admitted into any part of the church, or any account whatever."

On May 27th, there is a significant review of the "First Performance in Westminster Abbey Yesterday." Amusingly, the reviewer notes "...to the disgrace of the DIRECTORS, a numerous congregation...were shut out in the church-yard, tho' they consisted chiefly of Ladies of distinction elegantly dressed...some ragamuffin-like men placed to guard the doors, who conducted themselves suspiciously rather than respectfully to persons who had paid most liberally for their admission."

Described by E.D. Mackerness (in A Social History of English Music) as "the most important single event in the history of English music," the festival commemorating the 25th anniversary of the death of Handel, comprised of 5 spectacular performances of Handel's music. The commemoration established a fashion for large-scale performances of Handel's choral works throughout the 19th and 20th-centuries.

The great music historian and composer Charles Burney wrote in the following year an exhaustive history of the commemoration.

Their age is considered to be 1100-500 B.C. Apparently they were always made in pairs at the same pitch, and in a strange, elongated "S" curve with a flat, pancake-like shape at its end; the two lurer twisted in opposite directions.

MAHLER, Gustav (1860-1911) Symphony No. 2. Kaplan: New York, 1986. Edition limited to 1,000. Large folio. Facsimile of the full score + 117 pp of commentary including a brief history of the manuscript, translated letters relating to the symphony, a critical bibliography, reprints of early reviews and programs. Bound in red silk shantung with portrait of Mahler in gold on the cover and matching protective slipcase. As new.

This deluxe facsimile was never commercially available. It was produced by Gilbert Kaplan (1941-2016), an American businessman who was avidly fond of Mahler and in particular the Second Symphony. Obsessed by the piece since he was a young man, he purchased the original score from which the facsimile was produced. Remarkably, with no prior training as a conductor, he learned to conduct the work and managed to perform it more than 100 times with top symphony orchestras.

MONKEY BAND Germany, late 19th/early 20th century. Pieces measure from 4.50" to 7" high. A matched set , all with identical marks. In excellent condition, the only flaws being a miniscule chip on the base of the conductor and a repair to the violinist's bow.

The monkey band, modeled by Johann Joachim Kändler, was introduced by the firm of Meissen in 1753 for the King of Saxony.

It became instantly popular, reproduced by Meissen until the 20th-century and regularly copied by other German porcelain factories.

Archivally-matted and in a rare and splendid wood and gilt 17th-century frame.

David Singing God's Praises by Jan Sadeler the elder after Joos van Winghe (1554-1603). A crowded scene in which the central figure is David kneeling playing the harp. The five choristers on the left are singing from an open choir book on a table, the music being the full score of a five-part motet by Andreas Pevernage (1542/1543-1591), based on the text of Psalm 118.

Pevernage was a Flemish composer of the late Renaissance, working exclusively in his native land during times of turbulent religious conflict. He is particularly known as a composer of chansons, motets and madrigals, both sacred and secular. He wrote this particular motet expressly for this engraving and it is one of the earliest examples of engraved music.

Jan Sadeler was the creator of the picture-motet genre and its master exponent; the very first example of a complete music piece printed by engraving appeared in 1584 - S. Anne, Our Lady and the Child. He worked with various artists but this engraving is one of two surviving works from his collaboration with Joost van Winghe.

An unusually effusive and amusing thank you letter from the normally curmudgeonly eminent composer of the Viennese School.

I admit that the three in one made it more difficult for the composer, while my letter five in one makes it easier to me. To me, because it would really be too difficult to thank all of you for all the good I recieved [sic] from you in an adequate degree. And when I say good, I mean there is nothing better than good, because good to me is allready [sic] the best. I and Mrs. Schoenberg had a wonderful time in Chicago and much and great pleasure. We both hope to see you all sometimes in California. With many cordial greetings to you and the ladies, Sincerely yours"

Handwritten in the bottom corner is a personal note from the composer: "I was glad to find you an excellent musician Viennese style."

Three-bar AMQS from The Martyr of Antioch. A fine original carte de visite photograph of the young Sullivan has been laid down on the leaf.

Inscribed to the noted Victorian choral director Alfred Broughton who was the director and accompanist of the Leeds Festival. Leeds has historically been one of the most active centers of music in England. This quotation is from an album originally owned by the Irish composer Michael Balfe and subsequently by Broughton. Sullivan was appointed conductor of the Festival in 1880 and the date on the leaf is in fact the premiere of The Martyr of Antioch.

During the years when Sullivan was conductor, "the Leeds Festival assumed international status on account of both the quality of the chorus and the new works commissioned from such composers as Raff, Dvorak, Massenet, Humperdinck, Parry, Stanford, Elgar and Sullivan himself.....At the 1880 festival the progress of science was marked by the lighting of the town hall for the first time by electricity and - even more - by the transmission of some of the performance to neighbouring towns via land-line by the National Telephone Company."
