Rosenkranz-Sonaten. Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München, Mus. Mss<br />

4123. Vorgelegt von Manfred Hermann Schmid. [Im Anhang:] Faksimile<br />

der “Türken-Sonate” aus dem Kodex Ms XIV 726 (Nummer 80, Bll. 162r<br />

bis 163v) des Wiener Minoritenkonvents].<br />

Denkmäler der Musik in Salzburg, Faksimile-Ausgaben, 14. Munich, 2008.<br />

Oblong, 30 x 22 cm, 86, xxx, 4 pp + 1 foldout. New color reproduction of the<br />

magnificent presentation copy (non autograph, sole surviving source),<br />

dedicated to the Archbishop Maximilian Gandolph von Khuenberg. These<br />

fifteen wonderful sonatas, abstract commentaries on biblical incidents<br />

traditionally grouped into three groups of five—Joyful (his early life),<br />

Sorrowful (his passion), Glorious (his ressurection)—are noteworthy for their<br />

use of scordatura and their powerful preludes. They originally were<br />

performed in the lecture hall “Aula Academica” of Salzburg University,<br />

which still contains fifteen paintings depicting the mysteries. In like manner<br />

biblical illustrations—small engraved medallions—were glued in the<br />

manuscript at the beginning of each piece. The work ends with the<br />

passacaglia for solo violin, one of the most beautiful and soaring pieces of the<br />

German baroque. This new facsimile edition importantly includes a facsimile<br />

of a concordance of the tenth sonata (from MS XIV 726, Wiener<br />

Minoritenkonvents) — ”Türken-Sonate”—where the same music has<br />

programmatic titles: “Der Türcken Anmarch”, “Der Türcken Belägerung der<br />

Stadt Wien”, “Der Türcken stürmen”, “Anmarsch der Christen”, “Treffen der<br />

Christen”, “Durchgang der Türcken”, “Victori der Christen”. In Ms XIV 726, a<br />

composite source of violin music by Biber, Schmelzer and others, the scribe<br />

attributes the Türken-Sonate to “Schmelzer”. Introduction in Ger. Cloth. $179<br />

Meisterwerke der Musik im Faksimile, 12. Laaber, 2008. 26 x 41 cm, xvi, 57 pp.<br />

Full-color facsimile of the autograph fair copy composed in 1794 for Haydn's<br />

second London visit. Scored for 2 fl, 2 ob, 2 bsn, 2 hn, 2 tpt, timp, & strings, the<br />

work has all the stylistic hallmarks of the late Haydn symphony with its<br />

masterly confluence of simplicity and complexity, folkishness and<br />

sophistication. There is also the element of thematic surprise as well as<br />

orchestral excitement (the drumroll that ushers in the recapitulation in the<br />

first movement) and outrageous wit, shown by the violins getting "stuck" on a<br />

phrase in the finale and unable to remember what comes next. A fitting<br />

tribute for the celebration of the bicentenary of the composer’s death.<br />

Variationen F-moll (Sonate) Hob. XVII:6. Introduction: Armin Raab.<br />

[New York Public Library, New York].<br />

[Henle Music Facsimiles, 20]. Munich, 2008. 4°, ca. xiv, 8 pp. Deluxe color<br />

facsimile of the autograph issued on the occasion of the bicentenary of the<br />

composer’s death. Four leaves contain the fair copy of the work, while two<br />

leaves represent a composing copy. Originally entitled “Sonate for Signora de<br />

Ployer” (probably the pianist Barbara Ployer, a piano and composition pupil<br />

of Mozart), the variation movement was apparently intended as the beginning<br />

of a sonata with several movements. As can be seen from the second part of<br />

the autograph score, Haydn later extended the movement, ending it with an<br />

expansive Capriccio Coda. The first printed edition already bears the title<br />

“Variations”. The moving masterpiece has been played all over the world as<br />

“Variations in f minor” ever since. Commentary in Ger-Eng. Wrappers, in<br />

decorative paper. $90<br />

MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY, Felix, 1809-1847<br />

9009 [Concerto, violin, orch, op.64, E minor]<br />

Violinkonzert e-Moll. Faksimile nach dem Autograph der Bibliothek der<br />

Jagiellonen-Universität Krakau. Mit einer Einleitung (deutsch/englisch)<br />

von Stefan Drees.<br />

Meisterwerke der Musik im Faksimile, 10. Laaber, 2008. Oblong, 29 x 22 cm,<br />

xx, 69 pp. Full-color facsimile of the autograph score dated 16 September 1844.<br />

Mendelssohn's popular "Concerto for Violin in E Minor op.64", a mainstay in<br />

the concerto repertoire didn't have an easy birth and is known in two<br />

versions, the sole surviving autograph of 1844—reproduced here in<br />

facsimile—and the printed edition of 1845, a more brilliant version<br />

incorporating many of the changes suggested by Ferdinad David, dedicatee of<br />

the piece and his concertmaster at Leipzig. On July 30, 1838, the composer<br />

wrote to him: "I would like to write a violin concerto for you next winter. One<br />

in E minor goes through my head and the beginning will not leave me in<br />

peace." David encouraged Mendelssohn but also expressed a desire for it to be<br />

ostentatious, a suitable showcase for the violinist's talents. Mendelssohn was<br />

not used to flamboyance for its own sake and this wish conflicted with his<br />

musical temperament, prolonging the writing of the concerto. More than six<br />

years later with only three months before it was to be performed he confided<br />

to David: "Do not laugh at me too much. I feel ashamed in any case, but I<br />

cannot help it. I am just groping around." It was finally premiered on 13<br />

March 1845 and published shorly thereafter by Breitkopf & Härtel. There are<br />

well over 100 changes between the two versions, mostly issues concerning<br />

tempo, orchestration, and solo parts. While some are outright shocking, where<br />

Mendelssohn has taken in the final version the solo line up or down an octave,<br />

added entirely new notes to the violin part, or slightly changed the wind<br />

writing, no matter which version is considered both are pure Mendelssohn,<br />

and all the magical elements that make the Violin Concerto what it is, that<br />

make it so beloved and so popular, are completely intact. Commentary in<br />

Ger-Eng. Linen. Issued on the occasion of the bicentenary of the composer’s<br />

birth. Special subscription price valid until 12/31/08. $210<br />

8908 [Bologna, Museo Internazionale e Biblioteca della Musica, Cod. Q15]<br />

Bologna Q15: The Making and Remaking of a Musical Manuscript.<br />

Introductory Study and Facsimile Edition by Margaret Bent. Volume I:<br />

Introductory Study. Volume II: Facsimile.<br />

Ars Nova, Nuova Seria, 2. Lucca, 2008. 24.5 x 32.5 cm. 2 vols, 400, 686 pp. This<br />

manuscript is the largest international anthology of polyphonic music of the<br />

early 15th century. It was compiled in Padua in the early 1420s (stage I) and<br />

Vicenza in the early 1430s (stages II-III), all copied by a single scribe. The three<br />

illuminations are an unusual luxury for a musical manuscript at this period. It<br />

was acquired by Padre Martini in 1757 and is a major treasure of his library in<br />

Bologna. About half of its 323 compositions are unique; some others are<br />

shared with and complemented by the slightly younger Veneto manuscripts<br />

Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria 2216 and Oxford, Canon. misc. 213. It is the<br />

most important source for the works of Zacara and Ciconia and for the early<br />

works of Guillaume Du Fay (with 78 works, many of them unica). About 50<br />

composers are represented, including native Italians, and composers from the<br />

north who were sought after and made their careers in Italy. It is primarily a<br />

collection of mass movements (mostly Glorias and Credos, and a few cycles)<br />

and motets. Du Fay's Missa Sancti Jacobi was assembled as a cycle only here,<br />

and can now be linked with the humanist circle around the Venetian patrician<br />

bishop Pietro Emiliani of Vicenza, in which Q15 was compiled. The 109<br />

motets include compositions in honour of doges, bishops and noblemen. 19<br />

French songs were added at the end of stage I, and 11 laude at stage III. Other<br />

late additions are the cycle of 24 hymns (most by Du Fay), 9 Magnificats and 3<br />

sequences. For the first time, the complex codicological history of this<br />

manuscript is unravelled and the importance of its many revisions examined.<br />

The first compilation was originally much larger; the manuscript now<br />

embodies two overlapping, superimposed anthologies. Margaret Bent tells<br />

this story in her extensive introductory study, which also includes<br />

comprehensive indexes and catalogues. She spells out some of the conclusions<br />

to be drawn from the partial destruction of the manuscript by its own creator,<br />

a unique and extraordinary testimony to changing taste and contemporary<br />

reception. Deluxe limited edition, supplied with slipcase. $1425<br />

Fac-similé. Edité par Yolanda Plumley & Anne Stone. Centre d’Études<br />

Supérieures de la Renaissance.<br />

Collection “Epitome Musical”. Turnhout, 2008. 29 x 40 cm. x, 164; 211 pp.<br />

Full-color facsimile in the original format. Exciting late medieval source with<br />

99 songs and 13 motets, 61 of them unique. These works include some of the<br />

most elaborate surviving examples of the “Ars subtilior” notation, known for<br />

its experimentation in music rhythm. The provenance of this complex ms is<br />

still in dispute, being either 14th century southern France or an early 15th<br />

century Italian copy of a French repertoire. The basic corpus dates from<br />

c.1350-95; the ars subtilior repertoire by papal singers from Avignon and<br />

musicians employed at the Foix and Avignon courts is slightly later.<br />

Composers include Solage, Philippus de Caserta, Trebor, Vaillant, Machaut,<br />

Senleches, Susay, Cordier, Magister Franciscus, and Hasprois. The ms was<br />

owned by a Florentine family (possibly commissioned by them) and remained<br />

in Florence until 1861, at which time it was brought to Chantilly by the Duke<br />

of Aumale. Commentary in Fr-Eng. Handsome binding in black linen with<br />

Baroffio e Eun Ju Kin e una presentazione di Ellis Sada.<br />

Bibliotheca Mediaevalis, 1 Lucca, 2008. 20.5 x 28 cm, xxxiii, 150 pp. Deluxe<br />

full-color reproduction of a late 15th-c. Ambrosian processional. This<br />

beautifully executed "Antiphonale of the Litanies" in characteristic Ambrosian<br />

script was acquired by Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in 1970, gift of<br />

Father Oblati di Rho. It contains the antiphons of the Rogation week according<br />

to the Milanese ritual, a complex liturgical intinerary celebrated on Monday,<br />

Tuesday and Wednesday after Ascension, that is, at the beginning of the week<br />

preceeding Pentecost. The liturgy provided the singing of the antiphons<br />

during the processional itinerary where both congregation and clergy<br />

participated. The procession lasted 3 days and went to 30 churches; 13<br />

churches during the first day and 11 and 12 (or 14) the following days. The<br />

book was written in 1492 by Antonio de Lampugnano, commissioned by<br />

Cristoforo de Camponibus, a canon of S. Maria della Scala. The later provided<br />

to include the music according to the canonic calligraphy of the gothic<br />

Lombard notation used exclusively in the liturgical Ambrosian books. The<br />

only historiated miniature, at the beginning of the litanies, shows St.<br />

Ambrosio seated with the mitre and pallium. Two miniatures signal the<br />

beginning of the second and third days of the litanies. The topographic index<br />

confirms the local character of the chants. The majority of them are<br />

transmitted solely in the books of the Ambrosian rite; few are common with<br />

the Roman tradition and probably derived from it. Hardbound. $308<br />

[Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Rothschild 2973]<br />

Le chansonnier de Jean de Montchenu.<br />

Valencia, 2007-2008 Heart shaped, 22 x 16 cm, 144 pp + commentary. This<br />

exceptional MS, closed, is shaped like a heart; it opens into the shape of a<br />

butterfly composed of the hearts of the two lovers who send love messages to<br />

one another in each one of the songs. When the word “heart” appears in the<br />

texts, it is represented by a pictogram. Two full-page illustrations appear in<br />

the codex. In the first, Cupid throws arrows at a young girl while at his side<br />

Fortune spins his wheel. In the other, two lovers approach one another<br />

lovingly. Throughout the MS the pentagrams, music and love poems are<br />

surrounded by borders made up of animals, birds, dogs, cats and all kinds of<br />

flowers and plants highlighted in abundant and delicate gold. The book gets<br />

its name from Jean de Montchenu, a nobleman, apostolic prothonotary,<br />

Bishop of Agen (1477) and later of Vivier (1478-1497) who commissioned the<br />

work. The music repertoire consists of French and Italian songs written by<br />

Dufay, Ockeghem, Busnois and their contemporaries. Limited edition of 1380<br />

copies bound in red velet after the original; 2-part slipcase covered in green<br />

MODERN EDITIONS<br />

6727 Weill, Kurt (collected edition)<br />

Zaubernacht. Edited by Elmar Juchem and Andrew Kuster.<br />

The Kurt Weill Edition, I/0. New York, 2008. 30 x 39 cm. Zaubernacht is an<br />

hour-long stage work scored for an imaginative 9-piece ensemble consisting of<br />

flute, bassoon, percussion, piano and 5 string players. Weill composed this<br />

children's pantomime in 1922, while he was a member of Ferruccio Busoni's<br />

master class in composition in Berlin. Based on a scenario by Wladimir<br />

Boritsch (1891–1954), an elusive writer and impresario from Russia, the<br />

pantomime received its world premiere on 18 Nov. 1922 at Berlin's Theater<br />

am Kurfürstendamm. The work's only other production occurred at New<br />
