  Holder, William (1616-1697) and Gottfried Keller (d. 1704) A Treatise of the Natural Grounds, and Principles of Harmony. W. Pearson: London, 1731. Second Edition. Small octavo. 6 pp. (introduction/index) + 206 pp. + 2 pp. (publisher's list). Quarter-leather with brown marbled paper boards. Internally fine, front board worn and detaching; backstrip missing. Clean pages (excepting stamps and markings of various institutions on index page). A very good copy.

  A nice copy of this uncommon method.

  Gottfried Keller, a German composer and harpsichordist active in England in the second half of the seventeenth century, wrote a thorough-bass treatise but died before he could see it in print. It was published posthumously in 1705 but riddled with errors. The publishers of this edition of Holder's treatise appended to it Keller's work, here entitled Rules for Playing a Thorow-Bass (beginning on p. 159), with an attempt to correct its many mistakes. A note in the frontmatter explains its inclusion: The intention of Publishing Mr. Keller's Rules, (by way of Appendix to Dr. Holder's Book) was chiefly to rescue them from many Mistakes and Errors, which were occasioned by the Ignorance of the first Publishers of them on Plates, which wou'd never have happen'd, if the judicious Author had liv'd to corrected the Plates himself.

  Hook, James (1746-1827) Overture in the Lady of the Manor [for piano] S. A. and P. Thompson: London, [c 1778]. Engraved. Oblong quarto. 7 pp. Disbound. No title page (which may never have existed to begin with). In excellent condition. Vertical crease to pp. 5-6.

  The Lady of the Manor is an English comic opera in three acts by James Hook to a libretto by W. Kendrick. It premiered at Covent Garden in 1778, though Hook added new songs in 1788 and revised the score between 1815 and 1817, resulting in a second premiere at Drury Lane in 1818.

  This piano reduction of the overture was likely published shortly after the opera's premiere in 1778, when the score was issued in parts as Hook's Op. 20.

  Ives, Charles (1874-1954) New Music. Thirty-Four Songs. The New Music Society Publisher: New York, October 1933. Second edition. Small quarto. 71 pp. Signature of Arthur Cohen on front cover. Paper wraps. In very good, clean condition (a few pages with light toning at margins; back wrapper with minor chips at bottom).

  New Music was founded as a not-for-profit, quarterly publication of modern, (mostly) American music, initially edited and partly funded by the composer Henry Cowell. The periodical counted around 700 subscribers in advance of its first issue in 1927, but that number plummeted to 350 when that issue appeared, much to Cowell's dismay. Ives, however, was so taken with the enterprise that he submitted a check for an additional 25 subscriptions. Cowell called Ives to offer his personal thanks, and, after examining some of Ives' works, offered to publish them in New Music.

  Ives demurred at first, doubting that the series was truly non-commercial, but eventually changed his tune. He offered some of his scores to Cowell on the condition that he (Ives) would pay for all of the production costs. Because Ives had only self-published before, New Music effectively became his first publisher, and his music was the feature of several early issues beginning in 1929. This volume of songs marks the third time his works appeared in the publication.

  Arthur Cohn was a publisher, conductor, composer, and orchestrator as well as the longtime Director of the publishing company Carl Fisher, where he was responsible for publishing many of Ives's works. He was also director of the Edwin Fleischer Collection in Philadelphia from 1934-52.

  This second edition lists the same publication month and year (October 1933) as the first edition. While we have not been able to determine the reason for this (the publication history of New Music has yet to be thoroughly researched), it is possible that New Music quickly produced the second edition owing to the issue’s popularity.

  KERN, JEROME - COPYIST MANUSCRIPT OF "ONE MORE DANCE" Kern, Jerome D. (1885-1945) Folio. 12 pp. (with music, 16 pp. in total). In very good condition.

  Copyist manuscript in pencil, scored for piano with an additional melody line and no lyrics. Titled "One More Dance" on Harms Inc. music paper. Several notations, possibly in a different hand. The cover is titled in pencil One More Dance / B / Jerome D. Kern.

  "One More Dance" is a waltz from Jerome Kern's highly successful Broadway show Music in the Air (1932). It is the first song in the second act and is sung by the character Bruno.

  Because this score has no lyrics but includes indications such as hurdy-gurdy imitation and bassoons, it may have been intended for the orchestrator, who, in this case, was the illustrious Robert Russell Bennett. Perhaps it was considered for use in the entr'acte prior to the second act.

  Since we acquired this manuscript with other material associated with the premiere of Music in the Air, we are confident it was used in some capacity for the show's highly successful opening on November 8, 1932.

  Wilhelm Kienzl was a major figure in the musical and cultural life of Austria from the 1890s until the 1930s. He was a friend of Wagner as well as a pupil of Liszt. Der Evangelimann was Kienzl's most successful opera, enjoying frequent performances throughout Germany and Austria for a few decades, as well as the support of prominent conductors including Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, and Felix Mottl.

  Kotzwara, Francis (c1715-1791) The Battle of Prague, a Favorite Sonata for the Piano Forte C. Bradlee: Boston Engraved. Quarto. 10 pp. Disbound. In very good condition. Light stains and dealer stamp on title page. Thumb worn with some spotting at margins throughout. Outer pages beginning to detach at bottom centerfold.

  The Battle of Prague was enormously successful in Europe and abroad. The work was first published in 1788 and nearly 40 different early editions survive. It is interesting that this edition should have been published in Boston, as the New Grove Dictionary of Music notes that in that city the piece "was 'indespensable to climax every concert'" at the close of the eighteenth century.

  Kozeluch, Leopold (1747-1818) Six piano sonatas and two piano concertos. London, 1780s - 1790s. Early editions. Engraved. Quarto. Disbound but retains original leather spine. Music in excellent condition; particularly crisp and clean for age. Spine cracked and chipping. Additional condition notes below.

  A crisp volume containing early editions of six piano sonatas and two piano concertos by the Czech composer-pianist, who was one of Vienna's most popular musicians at the close of the eighteenth century:

  1. Three Sonatas for the Harpsichord or Piano Forte. Op. 1. Longman & Broderip: London, [c. 1783]. 37 pp.

  2. Three Sonatas for the Harpsichord or Piano Forte. Op. 2. Longman & Broderip: London, [c. 1783]. 34 pp.

  3. Trois Sonates pour le Clavecin ou le Piano Forte, accompangèes d'un Violon et d'un Violoncelle. Opera III. Longman & Broderip: London, [c. 1785]. 33 pp. Sonata I with occasional light bleed through and some penciled fingerings; Sonata II, pp. 14-17 with marginal stains and pp. 19-24 with marginal tears at bottom (some repaired; just affecting bass line on pp. 19-20); Sonata III, p. 33 with tears at vertical plate lines (music remains legible).

  4. A Favorite Concerto, for the Harpsichord or Piano-Forte with Accompaniments, No. 3. (Parts indicated). J. Bland: London, [1795]. 17 pp. Pl.n. "Kozeluch's 3d Con." Uneven right margin, p. 17 (not affecting).

  5. A Favorite Concerto, for the Harpsichord or Piano-Forte with Accompaniments, No. 6 (the 6 is handwritten). (Parts indicated). Birchall & Andrews: London, [1790]. 17 pp. (paginated 52-68). Unidentifiable initials in a contemporaneous hand on title page.

  6. Three Grand Sonatas for the Harpsichord or Piano Forte. Op. 14 or 17. J. Bland: London. [c. 1800]. 28 pp. Pl.n. "Kozeluch, Op: 14".

  7. Three Sonatas for the Piano-Forte or Harpsichord with accompaniments for the Violin and Violoncello. Op. XXVII. Longman & Broderip: London. 35 pp.

  8. Three Sonatas for the Harpsichord or Piano-forte, Composed & Dedicated to Mr. Clementi. Op. 35. J. Bland: London, [1791]. 25 pp. Signed by former (original?) owner on title page (not affecting).

  That Kozeluch was held in high regard by his contemporaries is evidenced by the many ways in which his career shadowed that of Mozart: he was offered Mozart's old court organist appointment in Salzburg in 1781 (but refused it for fear of being similarly mistreated there) and, upon Mozart's death, his Kammer Kappellmeister and Hofmusik Compositor positions at the Viennese court. Kozeluch accepted the latter two and held them until his own death in 1818.
