Paris: Léon Escudier [PNs L.E. 2765.; L.E. 2765 et 2767.], 1867. Large octavo. Light tan morocco-backed pebbled paper boards, spine in compartments gilt with titling gilt. 1f. (recto lithographic title by Trinocq after Cravzat with names of Verdi's operas on ribbons entwined around a set of arched columns, recto blank), 1f. (recto named cast list and table of contents, verso blank, 359, [i] (blank) pp. Lithographed.
Publisher's handstamp to lower margin of title. Armorial bookplate with printed text "Deus Dará" to upper pastedown.
Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped. Minor browning, foxing, and offsetting; margins of several leaves slightly soiled, creased, or stained. First Edition (?second issue) of the first version of the opera. Crawford p. 579. Chusid p. 49. Hopkinson 61A. Hopkinson considers the present issue to be the earliest printing of the work. Crawford has, however, identified what he believed to be an earlier issue, distinguished by typographical differences to the title page (Verdi's name in a smaller typeface; the absence of the lithographer's name to the lower right corner; and the absence of the printer's imprint to the foot of the first page of music).
Don Carlos, to a libretto by Joseph Méry and Camille du Locle after Friedrich von Schiller's dramatic poem Don Carlos Infant von Spanien, was first performed in Paris at the Opéra on 11 March 1867.
"Don Carlos has of late become one of the best-loved and most respected of Verdi's operas ... Verdi dedicated to the work some of his greatest dramatic music. One need think only of the magnificent series of confrontational duets that form such a great part of the drama ... several of these break decisively with traditional models, forging for themselves a vital new relationship between musical and dramatic progress. It is for such moments that Don Carlos will be remembered and treasured." Roger Parker in Grove Music Online.

Description:
5 pp. Folio (355 x 280 mm.). Notated in pencil with additional markings in coloured ink. Signed and dated 2007. Tsontakis studied with Hugo Weisgall, Felix Greissle, and Roger Sessions. His honours include the Charles Ives Living Award, the Grawemeyer, two Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards (1989, 1992), a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1995), a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, (1996) and numerous commissions. "[His] early works are written in a dissonant chromatic idiom not unlike that of Sessions. His musical language soon shifted, however, towards a classically-influenced style characterized by large-scale harmonic prolongations and what he calls 'the timeless gesture', a reference to the past through evocation rather than quotation. With the String Quartet no. 3 'Carragio' (1986) he arrived at an idiosyncratic tonal language propelled by a non-minimalist, Beethovenian use of repetition. Another primary feature of his work, particularly notable in the…

Description:
London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
