  Panerai, Vincenzo (c. 1750-c. 1790) Principi di Musica. Presso Giovanni Chiari: Firenze, [c 1770, as per WorldCat]. Engraved. Small quarto. 10 pp. Sewn. A very nice copy. Occasional stains, quite minor. Otherwise clean and crisp.

  Although a general music method, this volume includes scales for keyboard in the French and Italian manners, as well as scales for violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, and oboe. It also contains one of the few fingering tables for flute that survives from mid- to late-eighteenth century Italy.

  Very little is known about Italian composer Vincenzo Panerai. He studied composition alongside Luigi Cherubini in Florence, and Cherubini is known to have praised the performance of Panerai's music in that city in the 1770s. Panerai wrote several didactic works, and a contemporary newspaper, the Gazzetta Toscana, once praised his abilities as a teacher.

  PFITZER-SIGNED TRIO WITH AMQ Pfitzner, Hans (1869-1949) Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano, Op. 8  Signed Hans Pfitzner with AMQ. Also signed Hugo Kauder. Simrock: Berlin, 1898. Pl.n: 10999. first edition. Quarto. 67 pp. [piano] + 15 pp. [violin] + 15 pp. [cello]. Green cloth. Piano part bound; string parts loose and inserted in a matching green flap on inside of back board. In very good condition. Boards with a little wear.

  A first-edition copy of one of Pfitzner's earliest-published works, signed by him in purple ink on the front end-paper with a quotation of the cello part's first bar.

  Austrian composer Hugo Kauder has signed above Pfitzner; penciled below is the date 12 Febr. 17. Although the meaning of the date is unclear, it is possible that Kauder performed the trio then, as he was an active violinist and violist throughout the 1910s.

  Although Pfitzner gained his lasting reputation as an opera and theater composer in the early 1900s, he had composed a large body of chamber music and songs throughout the 1880s and 1890s. He wrote this trio in 1896.

  Piatti, Alfredo (1822-1901) Autograph Sketchbook Signed "Alfredo Piatti" on the titlepages of two works. Oblong octavo. 118 of 158 numbered pp. Contemporary marbled boards, spine worn, loose in binding, some leaves removed, one leaf with a section torn off the top. In a custom-made brown marbled modern box with black cloth spine (box cover rubbed in two places).

  A personal sketchbook of the renowned Italian cellist, containing the solo part of his "Concerto per Violoncello, Op. 1", "Fantaisie Variée sur des motifs de Beatrice Senda, Op. 2", "Andante e Variazioni sopra un tema dell' Opera Lucia di Lammermoor, Con accompagnamento d'Orchestra, Op. 4", a few other complete works and many ideas and sketches for other original compositions, mostly for cello or cello and piano, but also including a few works for voice and accompaniment and one for violin, voice and piano. One sketch appears to be an arrangement for cello of a Beethoven sonata. Many pages contain deletions and corrections and most of the material is apparently unpublished.

  Piatti had a long and influential career. He was a friend of many of the most prominent musicians of his day, including Mendelssohn and Liszt, who presented him with a Nicolò Amati cello [he later performed on the Stradivari now named after him]. He was the cellist of the Joachim Quartet from its inception in 1859 and, in addition to performing and composing, was a teacher, both privately and at the Royal Academy of Music. Piatti performed up until three years before he died at the age of 79. This rare sketchbook is very probably the only one of its kind in existence.

  Piccinni, Nicola (1728-1800) Iphigenie en Tauride. [Full score]. Chez le Suisse de l’Hotel de Noailles: Paris, [1781]. first edition. Engraved. Quarto. 264 pp. Half leather with tan marbled boards. Red gilt label and raised bands at spine. In very good condition on the whole. Marginal water stain to pp. 157-264 (only just affecting music on the last ten pages), but otherwise crisp and clean with occasional minor spotting typical of age. Spine a bit worn at either end; corners lightly bumped; back board with minor scuffs.

  Having fallen out of favor in Rome by the early 1770s, Piccinni accepted a post at the French court in 1776 to become the first Italian since Lully to write operas for the Academie Royale de Musique. The move was, on the whole, a success: his operas were well received, he was popular socially, and he secured several lucrative teaching engagements. The Grand Opéra, however, proved a thorn in Piccinni's side.

  The Opéra management proposed that Piccinni and Gluck each compose an opera on Iphigénie en Tauride simultaneously, promising Piccinni upon his acceptance of the challenge that his work would be the first staged. But this was a lie: Gluck's (now beloved) opera premiered in 1779 and Piccinni's did not follow until 1781. Piccinni was so concerned that his good reputation would be compromised, he issued a disclaimer that he did not intend his opera to become a "rival" of Gluck's. This did little, though, to deter Parisians from dividing into "Piccinnists" and "Gluckists", and their bitter fighting continued even after Gluck left Paris.

  Upon Gluck's death in 1787, Piccinni proposed that a public monument be erected in the elder composer's honor. The gesture was a testament to Piccinni's character, but the "Gluckists" rejected the suggestion on the grounds that Piccinni had made it.

  Luigi Marescalchi began publishing in Florence in 1770, single-handedly reviving Italian music publishing after seven decades of inactivity. After obtaining an exclusive royal license to publish in Naples in 1785, he and his brother Francesco ran a successful business there as publishers, copiers, music renters, and instrument dealers. They were also very likely the first to publish Mozart's music in Italy.

  Though undated, this Pleyel score must have been published between 1786 and 1799, when Marescalchi operated in Naples.
