  GRAUPNER - SCORES FROM EARLY BOSTON PUBLISHER Graupner: Boston, early 19th century. Total of 40 scores, all quarto and engraved, most disbound. In very good condition on the whole with issues typical of age: marginal chips/tears, occasional penciled performance markings (especially piano fingerings), detaching or fully detached pages, some transfer and toning. Additional notes on more significant defects below.

  Piano and vocal music published by Gottlieb Graupner, the most important music publisher in Boston at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Almost all of these scores bear Graupner's No. 6 Franklin St. address (the first of his two shop locations). The group is comprised of three categories:

  PIANO MUSIC - Sonatas, Arrangements, Variations, Incidental. Nine scores, including: an arrangement of a Concertante by Pleyel; an arrangement from Handel's Water Music; two waltzes by Mozart and one by Clementi; three sonatas by Valentino Nicolai; a set of variations entitled Rousseau's Dream by J. B. Cramer; an unattributed set of variations entitled The Lee Rigg; The Cottage Rondo by Matthais von Holst (great-grandfather of Gustav Holst); and a single page containing two short pieces entitled March in Pizzarro (evidently referring to the drama by Kotzebue, not Beethoven's opera) and College Hornpipe.

  Additional notes on condition: Pleyel's Concertante and Nicolai's Sonatas with detached and torn title pages (affecting music on verso). The Prussian March torn with substantial creasing.

  PIANO MUSIC - National or Boston-related Themes and Marches. Six scores, including: two waltzes named Swiss and Copenhagen; two marches entitled Salem Cadet's March and Governor Knight's March; a Prussian March with trio; and a single page containing two marches entitled Buonapart's Grand March and Washington's Assembly.

  SONGS. Twenty-five scores. All but two for solo vocalist and piano (the exceptions being one vocal duet and one chorus with soloist). These include popular songs by English composers James Hook, J. J. Burrowes, Henry Bishop, Thomas Thompson, John Bray, John Whitaker, and William Horsley; unattributed folk tunes of Scottish and Irish origin; a crisp copy of "The Last Rose of Summer"; songs made locally popular in Boston through theater and concert performances (and so noted beneath their titles); and songs translated from German or French originals.

  Gottlieb Graupner began his career as an oboist in the Hannover military band before joining the orchestra that would premiere Haydn's symphonies in London 1791 and 1792. He immigrated to America by 1795 and quickly became a fixture of Boston's music scene. Graupner's store, which published, printed, and engraved sheet music and dealt in instruments, was the leading music business in Boston for the first three decades of the nineteenth century. He published the music of American and European composers and was responsible for some of the first musical instructional treatises produced in the United States. He was also the leader of the Boston Philharmonic Society and a charter member of the Handel and Haydn Society.

  Grosz is best remembered for being the first Austrian composer to incorporate Jazz idioms into his works. The one-act opera buffa Sganarell was among his earliest major compositions. Based on Molière, it premiered in 1925.

  Gustav Klemm was a Baltimore-based composer, conductor, critic, and teacher. He led the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and served as the director of the Peabody Conservatory.

  Haydn, Franz Joseph (1732-1809) Die Jahreszeiten. Klavierauszug. [The Seasons. Piano/Vocal Score]. Breitkopf & Härtel: Leipzig, [1802, as per Hoboken]. first edition of piano/vocal score. Oblong quarto. 176 pp. With Verbesserungen (corrections) sheet tipped in at back. Three-quarter calf with marbled paper boards. In good condition. Foxed throughout, especially title page and in places heavily, but a deep impression and otherwise clean. Binding with some wear, but attractive and still tight. Altogether a nice copy.

  A first-edition piano/vocal score of Haydn's Die Jahreszeiten (The Seasons), issued the same year as the first full score and just one year after the oratorio's premiere. With text underlay in German and French.

  The publishing history of early piano/vocal scores of The Seasons is a bit complicated. Hoboken's catalog lists three different piano/vocal scores published in 1802, one each by André, Artaria, and Breitkopf (Hoboken: Gruppe XXI, p. 59). Breitkopf's edition was the first of the three and issued with two different title pages. This copy bears the simpler of the two (as described by Hoboken). At Haydn's direction, Breitkopf was also the publisher of the first full score, issued later that same year (1802).

  Haydn composed The Seasons to a libretto by Gottfried van Swieten, who had likewise provided the libretto for Die Schöpfung (The Creation). Haydn took two years to complete the oratorio, owing partly to his advanced age and partly to the enormity of the text. The premiere in April 1801 was a marked success, though The Creation remained the more popular of the two works.
