  Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827) Vier Arietten und ein Duett (italienische und deutsch) mit Begleitung des Pianoforte. (Der unterlegte deutsche Text is von Dr. Chr. Schreiber.) Op. 82. Breitkopf & Härtel: Leipzig, [1811]. Pl.n: 1474. first edition. Engraved. Oblong. 16 pp. Red cloth spine with matching marbled boards and gilt tooled leather title label at front. In very good condition; a nice crisp copy and handsomely bound. With some spotting and light staining on the first two pages.

  As per Kinsky, Breitkopf und Härtel printed only 600 copies of this first edition and indeed, copies are now scarce. The original autograph manuscript is now lost. The Italian texts were translated for this edition by Härtel's associate, the theologian Dr. Christian Schreiber.

  Four of these five songs set texts by Metastasio, a librettist whose work Beethoven knew through his occasional teacher, Antonio Salieri. It is possible that Beethoven selected these Italian poems with his friend Therese Malfatti in mind. Malfatti, a fellow Austrian and one-time crush of Beethoven's, may have also been the dedicatee of his Für Elise.

  This piano-cello arrangement was made by an L. Jacquard, who based it on an earlier piano-violin arrangement by de Bériot. The piano part of this copy seems to be recycled from the original de Bériot edition, as it is marked for violin and piano and bears the de Bériot stamp on the title page. Both seem to have been published around 1855 (as per WorldCat).

  Berlin, Irving (1888-1989) Annie Get Your Gun. Vocal score. Irving Berlin Ltd.: London, 1947. Pl.n: 3553. first edition, likely second issue. Quarto. 143 pp. Original laminated color wrappers. Housed in a custom gray linen box lined with red paper to match score wraps. In excellent condition. (Front wrapper and margins throughout lightly toned).

  Inscribed score of Berlin's most famous musical, Annie Get Your Gun

  Signed in blue ballpoint pen on the front cover by the incredibly important composer who in this case was also the librettist. The inscription is to the noted American musical biographer Edward Jablonski, who wrote definitive biographies of George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Alan Jay Lerner, and Irving Berlin: To Ed Jablonski | with my best always, | Irving Berlin.

  This score is likely a first edition, second issue: the music is dated 1947, but the wrappers are dated 1950. (The second issue would have thus coincided with the release of the film version of the musical in 1950). This copy was printed and sold in Britain (as per the front wrapper) and includes a cast list of the first London production (1947).

  Annie Get Your Gun is unquestionably Berlin's most famous and beloved musical. Rogers and Hammerstein, the first producers of Annie Get Your Gun, had originally asked Jerome Kern to write the music. Kern accepted the offer but died just three days after starting work on the score. Irving Berlin agreed to take up the project on the condition that he write the lyrics himself. Annie Get Your Gun would become his most successful musical, owing to the catchy tunes and witty rhymes of songs like "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)". The musical's initial run in New York totaled an impressive 1,147 performances.

  Berlioz, Hector (1803-1869) Grand Traité d'Instrumentation et d'Orchestration Modernes. Op. 10. Nouvelle Edition. Henry Lemoine: Paris, [after 1860]. Pl.n: S. 996. Early edition. Lithographed. Large quarto. 312 pp. Quarter-bound red leather with contemporary marbled boards and end papers. Spine with repair; small tear and scuffs to leather on front board; board edges a bit worn. Bookplate of former owner on inside front cover. Title page with signature of former owner and publisher's stamp (neither affecting). Tape repair at inner margins of pp. 5, 303. Manuscript table of contents in a contemporary hand on lined sheet laid down to back end paper. The treatise itself is uncommonly clean and crisp, with only very minor and occasional foxing.

  Hopkinson lists an engraved edition of c. 1860 by Henry Lemoine as a "variant" of this treatise's second edition, which was originally published by Schonenberger in 1855. Both the Lemoine and Schonenberger second editions share the same plate number (S. 996), pagination, and title page text. This particular copy seems to be a slightly later lithographed issue of Lemoine's 1860 second edition "variant."

  Berlioz's landmark treatise was first published in 1844. The second edition of 1855 included a new chapter on conducting and is therefore considered the more desirable of the two.

Dalle unite Compagnie di Sicurta alla prima Sezione del Lloyd Austriaco. [For piano and chorus] Linassi: Trieste, [c 1844]. Lithographed. Oblong quarto. 11 pp. Inscribed on the title page: Alla Sig. Camilla Dugan. L'Autore. Disbound, pages detached. Title page stained. Margins a bit foxed throughout and top edges cropped (affecting printed pagination in places, but not music).

  Giuseppe Bornaccini was an Italian composer of opera, sacred music, and chamber music. After studying composition in Rome and Naples, he eventually made his way to Trieste in 1834, where he wrote this chorus while working as a teacher of composition and singing. He remained in the city until 1848 before returning to his native Ancona.

  Österreichischer Lloyd was a large Austro-Hungarian shipping company, founded in 1833 and based in Trieste. This chorus may have been written in conjuction with Österreichischer Lloyd's acquisition of the First Danubian Steam Navigation Company in 1844, which helped the business grow by adding new a steamliner route to the East.
