Notable Acquisitions 1964-1985 Music Library

By O. W. Neighbour

No regular reports of notable acquisitions of printed music have appeared since the last acquisitions booklet of the Department of Printed Books was published, covering the years 1963-4. ^ During the past twenty-one years far too many editions claiming notice for musical, textual, historical, or bibliographical reasons have entered the collection for all to be listed individually in the present survey, or for full descriptions to be attempted. Title-page transcriptions have been kept brief, only numbered pagination or foliation is given (and none for part-books) and it has been necessary to deal with certain types of publication more summarily. Two important acquisitions have already been the subject of special articles and are therefore excluded: the collection of sixty-two items from the library of Alfred Cortot^ and two volumes of piano duets from the Royal Music Library.^ In the following list sixteenth- and seventeenth-century items are given in straight chronological order. Those from the eighteenth century are subdivided into various categories, the weight of the selection in each case falling in the earlier years; details of some miscellaneous later items are appended. Two categories in which acquisitions from the eighteenth century onwards have been especially strong, opera scores and editions of famous composers, receive more generalized treatment. The note 'unrecorded', frequently used here, means that no other copy of the item in question is known to the main union-catalogues of recent years,"*- or other relevant literature. The union catalogues reach to the end of the eighteenth century, but libraries have collected and catalogued eighteenth-century music less assiduously than earlier material so that 'unrecorded' publications of this period come to light quite often; by no means all those acquired in the years under review are included here.

Opera Full Scores Acquisitions in this field amount to well over 200 scores by more than 120 composers. From the later seventeenth century onwards it was the custom in France to publish operas in score, but elsewhere scores circulated in manuscript form and publication, if any, usually took the form of a reduction for voices with keyboard accompaniment. As time went on the relatively cheap vocal scores became increasingly popular with the public, and from the middle ofthe nineteenth century French publishers issued vocal scores for sale, printing only very short runs of full scores for hire or sale to opera houses. A Uttle later the Germans, Austrians, and Italians followed suit, printing scores that they would earlier have kept in manuscript, but in small numbers and for purely professional purposes; as late as the 1840s Wagner had to pay for the printing of full scores of his first three published operas out of his own pocket (the Library has recently acquired one ofthe twenty-five copies of Rienzi). Scores ofthe later nineteenth and the twentieth centuries are thus in most cases far rarer than those of eighteenth-century France. The Library is strong in the latter so that they account for a relatively small proportion of its recent purchases, though almost the last gaps have been filled in the holdings of operas by Campra, Destouches, Rameau, and Gluck. Ofthe many later composers represented by one or more scores may be mentioned Rossini, Donizetti, Halevy, Bellini, Balfe, Thomas, Flotow, Verdi (twenty-four scores, including the first editions of Otello and Ealstaff), Gounod, Suppc, Offenbach, Lalo, Johann Strauss, Saint-Sacns, Delibes, Bizet, Musorgsky, Massenet (twenty-nine scores), Faure, Messagcr, Janacek, Humperdinck,

R. Schumann, Lie der fur die Jugend, Op. 79 (Leipzig, 1849). H.645.g Leoncavallo, Puccini (twelve scores), Mascagni, Cilea, Giordano (including a score of Andrea Ch^nier used by Mahler, with his conductor's markings), Pfitzner, Zemlinsky, Wolf-Ferrari, Milhaud, Gershwin, Poulenc, Weill. Hire library scores of operas composed in the last twenty years by such composers as Tippett and Britten have also been purchased.

Editions of Famous Gomposers ofthe Late Eighteenth and the Nineteenth Genturies The bibhography of composers of this time is complicated by two factors. First, the use of engraved plates enabled corrections to be made without difficulty in the early issues of an edition, though the plates often suffered damage and were then replaced by less accurate ones; in consequence, an edition may not be adequately represented by a single issue. Secondly, works of many composers appeared by agreement simultaneously in more than one country, so that parallel editions frequently have independent textual histories. The following list of well-known composers gives the approximate number of first and early printings of textual importance acquired: Haydn 25, Boccherini 10, Clementi 15, Mozart 30, Beethoven 15, Field 25, Weber 10, Schubert 25, Berlioz 10, Mendelssohn 60, Chopin 50, Schumann 30, Liszt 100, Chaikovsky 20, Grieg 40, Wolf 10.

Welsh Music During the last fifteen years the Library has acquired over 3,500 pieces of Welsh music published between the 1830s and the present time. They include hymn and psalm books, oratorios, cantatas, anthems, music books for festivals, part-songs, solo songs, and instrumental pieces. Owing to the strong tradition of local publication in Wales much of this material is very scarce; the Library's holdings in the field are now outstanding.
