About This Item
New York: Simrock Edition - Associated Music Publishers. First American Edition . Stapled Wraps. Very Good. 9" x 12. First American publication (1920s?) of the original 1896 Simrock edition. This is the Master's final cycle of songs, composed in Vienna in 1896 for Clara Schumann, setting Biblical texts: (1) Denn es gehet dem Menschen (It is for a person as it is for an animal) from Ecclesiastes (Ecclesiastes 3:19-22); (2) Ich wandte mich, und sahe an (I turned and looked upon everyone) from Ecclesiastes (Ecclesiastes 4:1-3); (3) O Tod, wie bitter bist du (O death, how bitter you are) from Sirach (Sirach 41:1-2); (4) Wenn ich mit Menschen (If I speak with the tongues of humans and angels) from First Epistle to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13:1-3,12-13) 19 pages; text in German and English translation (by Paul England). CONDITION: A clean, solid, unmarked copy with light shelf-wear, sunning, faint creases on the outer corners of the front cover, and a hint of age-tanning to its otherwise pristine score pages. (This ca. 100-year-old score should be handled with care.) It is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board. [NOTE: This American edition used the original Simrock engraving plate: 10679.]
