Musical Joke, K522, "Musikalischer Spass für zwei Violinen, Bratsche, zwei Hörner u. Bass, geschrieben in Wien den 14ten Juny 1787, 93tes Werk, Nach dem Originalmanuscripte des Autors herausgegeben".
André: Offenbach am Main, [1802]. Plate no. 1508. FIRST EDITION. Folio. 7+5+5+2+2+3 pp. Lithograph. Edges untrimmed and a little worn, title page somewhat soiled, some wear and a light stain on outer leaf of first violin part (which serves as the wrapper for the set of parts), small holes in bottom margin of viola, horn & bass part, with no loss of musical text except for a slight defect in one measure of first horn part, otherwise very good.
Complete set of six parts, with amusing title page vignette illustrating some of the musicians the work is intended to ridicule. The vignette is remarkable in showing a violin part laid out on the table around which the musicians play, with the opening theme of the piece entirely legible.

As indicated by the title page rubric "Nach dem Originalmanscripte des Autors herausgegeben," this Mozart first edition was one of the many that André brought out after his purchase of the Mozart autographs from Mozart's widow at the end of 1799.

This first edition is particularly noteworthy as one of the earliest lithographic prints, a printing technology that the André firm pioneered after the hiring of Franz Gleissner, one of the co-inventors of the process.

MOZART, W.A. (1756-1791)
Musical Joke, K522, "Raillerie musicale pour deux Violons, Alto, 2 Cors & Basse par W.A. Mozart. Oeuvre 93...Cette satyre dirigée en premier lieu contre les étudians [sic] de Prague, n'en est pas moins applicable à tout mauvais compositeur & musicien".
Charenton, Vernay: Paris, [1803]. Plate no. 1508. FIRST PARISIAN EDITION. Folio. 7+5+5+2+2+3 pp. Lithograph. Title page shows some shelf wear and is detached from the rest of first violin part, which is also stamped "Ernest Schelling" (pianist and conductor) on the back, otherwise very good.
Complete set of six parts.

This edition bears the same plate number as André's first edition, and Köchel claims that it uses the printed stock of André's first edition with a new title page; however, a close comparison of the two editions shows that Charenton re-engraved the work closely following the layout of André's model. This edition is an example of some of the very earliest French lithography created in André's Charenton workshop, a technology that the André firm pioneered after hiring one of the co-inventors of the process. The vignette is quite crudely drawn in comparison to André's title page, but is nonetheless amusing in its caricature of the type of musicians being mocked by Mozart.

MOZART, W.A. (1756-1791)
Musical Joke, K522, "Musikalischer Spass für zwei Violinen, Bratsche, zwei Hörner u. Bass, geschrieben in Wien den 14ten Juny 1787...93tes Werk (Köchel Verz. No. 522)".
André: Offenbach am Main, [after 1862]. Plate no. 1508. Folio. 7+5+5+2+2+4 pp. Lithograph. Title page of first violin detached, some wear on title page, otherwise very good.
Complete set of six parts, the two horn parts on a single uncut bifolio, demonstrating that the music has never been used.

The amusing title page vignette is a re-working of the original vignette of André's 1802 first edition, but differing from the original in some of the details, most significantly in the different music on the violin part laid out on the table (see MUS-05975, the original André edition, which is the first edition of this piece).

Two complete violin parts.

These duos exhibit an unusual creativity in the transcription process. Of particular note in this regard is the G Minor/G Major sonata (K379, third of the set), which exhibits substantial rewriting of the variation movement that departs markedly from the original figuration and shape of the lines even when the original figuration could have served perfectly well.
