  Massenet, Jules (1842-1912) Sapho. [Vocal score] Heugel & Cie.: Paris, 1897. Pl.n: H. et Cie. 18,648. first edition of piano-vocal score. Quarto. 227 pp. Inscribed and initialed in facsimile by Massenet to the publisher Heugel on the third blank in the year of the opera’s premiere and first publication: a mon ami | Henri Heugel | J. M. | Paris - 1897. Quarter-calf with marbled boards and edges. Spine a bit rubbed and lifting with chips at top and bottom. Signature of former owner on first blank. Slight tear to top of inscription page (not affecting). Title page trimmed close at bottom (affecting a bit of the ornamental border). In very good condition otherwise.

  This first-edition piano-vocal score is that of the original Sapho, Massenet having revised the work in 1909. (A full orchestral score was not published until the premiere of the revised version.)

  Henri Heugel took over his family's publishing business in 1883; by 1885 he was said to have been publishing at least one new score every day. In 1891 he acquired the catalogue of Georges Hartmann, the exclusive publisher of Massenet from 1870 until the sale of his business. Heugel would go on to publish old and new Massenet operas for many years following, many of which included elaborate colored title pages.

  Massenet, Jules (1842-1912) Thaïs. [Vocal score] Heugel & Cie.: Paris, 1894. first edition of piano-vocal score. Quarto. 250 pp. Original wrappers bound in. Quarter-bound orange leather with marbled boards. Raised bands and gilt label at spine. Chips to wrappers (both laid down on backing paper); repaired tear to inscription page (just barely affecting one word). Otherwise very good.

  Inscribed close to the premiere.

  Inscribed to the daughters of librettist Louis Gallet during the month of the opera's premiere: à mesdemoiselles | Marguerite + Marie-Louise Gallet, | aux chéres filles de | mon collaborateur + fidele ami | Louis Gallet. | affectueusement. | -Massenet | Paris - mars/94.

  Interestingly, Marguerite Gallet would go on to sing Fanny Legrand in premiere of the revised version of Massenet's Sapho in 1909.

  This first-edition score retains the 18-page dance interlude Les amours d'Aphrodite at the start of the second act, which Massenet removed in his revisions of 1898. The dance caused controversy at the opera's premiere owing to a costume malfunction of Sibyl Sanderson's (the first Thaïs). Commentators on the opera routinely note the bold central section of this dance, which is in 5/4 time and uses the whole-tone scale.

  The full orchestral and piano-vocal scores of Thaïs were both published by Heugel in 1894.

  Gallet's libretto for Thaïs, which is based on a novel by Anatole France, deviated from normal practice by relying on assonance, rather than rhyme and meter, to structure and cohere the poetic text. The technique, which Gallet called poésie mélique, facilitated freer declamation.

  Massenet, Jules (1842-1912) Werther - Drame Lyrique en Quatre Actes et Cinq Tablaux d'Après Goethe. Piano-Vocal Score Poème de MM. Edouard Blau. Paul Milliet et Georges Hartmann. Heugel: Paris, 1892. first edition. Quarto. 229 pp. Half-leather in green morocco. Spine has raised bands, gilt title and armorial decorations. Spine edges rubbed, page edges slightly yellowed. Title page slightly torn at top. Some markings in blue and red crayon, mainly underlinings and cuts, otherwise very good condition.

  Signed and inscribed by the composer on blank opposite title page: á mon ami Lubert / avec mes meilleurs / souvenirs (Eve) / son dévoué J. Massenet / 1897.

  Werther was the first of Massenet’s operas to be performed at the Metropolitan Opera. It reached the Met two years after its 1892 world premiere, and it continues to hold the stage there.

  Albert Lubert was a French tenor who first appeared at the Met as Don José in a production of Carmen in 1895. He also appeared in the Met performance of Massenet's La Navarraise.

  MELODEON TUTOR AND MUSIC Taylor, Virgil Corydon (1817-1891) The Chime; an extensive collection of new and old tunes…from the old masters, and modern European writers…with valuable selections (kindly permitted) from living American composers; also, a variety of new pieces by the author. Including also, A Melodeon Instructor; by the use of which, a knowledge of all instruments of the organ kind may be easily acquired. Oliver Ditson & Co.: Boston, [after 1855]. Fifth Edition. Oblong small quarto. 367 pp. Quarter leather. In very good condition. Internally quite clean, save for spotting on title page and light bleed through typical of age throughout. Boards foxed with light wear. A crisp copy on the whole.

  An expansive collection of American, English, and European psalm tunes and hymns presented with keyboard accompaniment and prefaced by two instructional introductions: Simplification of the Elements of Vocal Music (15 pp.) and The Melodeon Instructor (9 pp.).

  The melodeon was a type of free-reed organ that became popular in homes and small churches in the mid nineteenth century. This Melodeon Instructor is among the earlier examples of tutors for the instrument.

  The first edition of The Chime was published in 1854. We have been unable to identify the publication years of any subsequent editions.

  Virgil Corydon Taylor was an American organist and hymnodist active in Connecticut, New York, and Iowa. He produced several music compilations in the 1840s and 1850s, including volumes of secular songs and choral anthems. The Chime enjoyed five editions in Taylor's lifetime and appears to have been his most successful publication.

  MENDELSSOHN PLAYS FOR THE LAST TIME IN ENGLAND Mendelssohn, Felix (1809-1847) and Henry Hill (1808-1856) String Quartets, Op. 44, "Trois Grands Quatuors pour Deux Violons, Alto et Basse composés et dédiés à son altesse Royale le Prince Royal...par Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Breitkopf & Härtel: Leipzig, [1839]. Pl.n: 6022-24. first edition. Folio. 13/13/15+11/11/13+11/11/13+9/11/13 pp. Disbound. In a custom-made box. Condition very good, with some performance markings and penciled measure numbers. Title page with inscription cropped at the top, affecting a few words. Complete set of four parts, with title page on the first violin part only. Each part signed HyHill and with his attestation on the first title page.

  Henry Hill captures a moment in history: Mendelssohn plays for the last time in England.

  A score annotated and signed by the important violist Henry Hill, with parts, used at Mendelssohn's last concert in England, given shortly before his death on November 4, 1847. The concert was a special one presented by The Beethoven Society in honor of Mendelssohn. Not only did the renowned composer attend the performance, but he also improvised a piece while the musicians were looking for a lost part. The score is from the collection of the great English violist Henry Hill.

  The score has a signed, very touching hand-written note from Hill on the title page of the first violin part of the first quartet. Starting on the right-hand side and going clockwise, Hill writes:

  This quatuor was played at a matinee given in honor of the author at the Beethoven rooms 1847…the much loved and much to be lamented Felix Mendelssohn was present and played one of his trios and whilst they were seeking for a lost part…gave a most splendid improvisation -- it was his last performance in England!!…'to praise what is lost makes the remembrance more dear' (a quote from William Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well, V, iii).

  Henry Hill was a scholar and the leading violist of his time, co-founding The Beethoven Quartet Society and writing the notes for their concerts. The concerts were held on Queen Anne Street in what was called The New Beethoven Room. He also knew Berlioz and performed the solo viola part of Harold in Italy, which Berlioz had written for Paganini, at its London premiere in 1848. Hill was a member of the important English family known especially in the violin trade. It should also noted that any autograph material of Henry Hill is very scarce.

  A rare unpublished manuscript by the composer of The ballad of Baby Doe.

  Manuscript for piano four hands on a bifolio: two full pages of music, a decorated cover page, and a blank. Autograph presentation manuscript in ink, written as a thank-you present from the twenty-seven-year-old composer to the Spelmans, whom he had visited in Italy. This charming manuscript is enhanced with two photos of the Spelmans' dogs pasted down on the cover surrounding the title. Amusing dynamic instructions include Not so profound as you might think; Slowly, with evident insincerity but tremendous esprit; and With more or less of a triumph.

  Provenance: Estate of Timothy Spelman.

  Douglas Moore, composer, educator and author, was most famous for his two operas The Devil and Daniel Webster and The Ballad of Baby Doe. Moore joined the music faculty at Columbia University in 1926 and remained there until his retirement in 1962. In 1954 he co-founded, with Otto Luening and Oliver Daniel, the CRI (Composers Recordings, Inc.) record label.

  Timothy Spelman was an American composer whose wife was the English poetess Leolyn Everett. Moore visited them at their splendid sixteenth-century villa on the via Leonarda da Vinci overlooking Florence. At this time, Moore was in Europe studying at the Scola Cantorum in Paris.

  This is the first time we have seen a Moore manuscript on the market.
