RISM A and AA 2742 (3 copies in D, Gb and USA). – Attwood is considered to have

been Mozart‟s favourite pupil (Vienna 1785-87). It is said that amongst all his pupils,

Attwood understood his musical style best. Despite his considerable importance as an

English composer of sacred music, the memory of Attwood is mainly related to

Mozart‟s teaching (the “Attwood-studies” resulting from the classes, which show

many additions and corrections in Mozart‟s hand, were published in the Neue Mozart-

Ausgabe). Moreover, Attwood used Mozart‟s music in several of his own operas. He

became one of the leading figures of English musical life about 1800. He composed

19 operas, and was then organist at St Paul‟s cathedral and composer of the Chapel

Royal from 1795 onwards. Eventually, in 1821, he became composer to King George

IV‟s private chapel.

Attwood published numerous Glees, among them, the present one by Walter Scott

(1771–1832) – one of the most famous English authors. This work is set for mixed

vocal quartet with a four-handed piano accompaniment. This publication appeared in

the series Vocal English as no. 109. The following catalogue lists 25 Songs &

Ballads, 2 Duets and 16 Glees. – This copy is from the estate of the English family

publishers, Novello. The copy was dedicated to Clara Anastasia Novello (1818–

1908), the publisher‟s daughter and an opera singer. Autograph documents by

Thomas Attwood are extremely rare.

regards, and with Attwood‟s initials “”TA” under the imprint. In fine condition.

£680

RISM A 2740 (only 1 copy in D-B). – The title is bordered by branches (a simple, but

attractive design). The work is set for two sopranos and a baritone, piano and harp.

The score is arranged in systems of seven staves; the two first and last two staves are

for the pianos (or Piano / harp), the central staves refer to the vocal parts. The

composition is mostly homophonic and has some echoing sections. The catalogue is

identical with the previous item. The dedicatee is probably also the opera singer,

Clara Anastasia Novello, the daughter of the famous publisher.

stunningly large signature, in very good condition. £180

“Many, many thanks! my old friend of 1820”; Cianchettini hopes to be able to repay

an old debt. “In the meanwhile – I have no doubt that you will be disposed to accept

the dedication of this vocal gem, one of Zingarelli‟s most celebrated Duetto (one of

his masterpieces!) „Giuro al paterna Sangue‟. This may be very useful, some evening

at the Ancient Concerts, where Zingarelli has now the honour of being canonized with

the other great Italian masters”. Cianchettini offers to provide the score and parts

and suggests showing them to [Michael] Costa, who “will know how to appreciate

it”.

Pio Cianchettini, born in London 1799, was a composer and pianist. His mother,

Katerina Dusikova, was the sister of the pianist J. L. Dussek; his father, Francesco

Cianchettini of Rome, was head of the London music publishing firm Cianchettini &

Sperati. At the age of five, he appeared at the Opera House as an infant prodigy. A

year later, he travelled with his father through Holland, Germany and France, where

he was hailed as the English Mozart. By the age of eight, he had mastered English,

French, German and Italian. In 1809, he performed a concerto of his own composition

in London. He published cantatas (e.g. on words from “Paradise Lost”), Italian

Nocturnes and other vocal and piano music.

20) CIANCHETTINI, Pio (1799–1851). Autograph musical manuscript signed,

inscribed and dated “for Mess. D‟Almaine and C. Cianch. 1843, titled: New Edition of

Dussek‟s celebrated Octave Lesson for the Piano Forte (op. 12 N° 1). Revised by his

nephew Pio Cianchettini. Pr. 3f. London, D‟Almaine and Co. 20 Soho Sq. Title + 13

pp., piano score on twelve staves, written in brown ink, partly browned, otherwise in

good condition. With an old ex libris showing the initials “WLHC” (William

Hayman Cummings). £420

This seems to be the Stichvorlage but does not show the engraver‟s markings.

Dussek‟s Op. 12 is a collection of three sonatas for piano and violin, the first of which

is in F major, like the „lesson‟ of our manuscript. The introduction, Maestoso ed

Espressivo, is not likely to have been written in this way for piano-violin duet; this is

perhaps a rhapsodic addition by Dussek‟s nephew, Cianchettini. The following

Allegro spiritoso frequently uses a theme in octaves; this and several triplet passages,

marked [con] 8va alta, may give the impression of an almost technical composition.

This does not seem to be the aim of this well constructed and „classically‟ conceived

work, whose highly musical expression is, however, intimately mixed with high

technical demands. The title Octava Lesson does not occur in Dussek‟s list of works

and may be the formulation of his nephew Cianchettini, who, perhaps, added several

octave lines to make the piano part more demanding.

Hob. IV Anhang (Vol. 1, p. 473f.). Not in RISM (quotes only the piano version H

4373 [6 copies, most in Italy] with a similar title but ... di minuetti e trio [...] il

contrapunto, da eseguirsi col cembalo o pianoforte). – Already at the time of

publication, doubts were raised with regard to the authorship; in Bossler‟s

Musikalischer Real=Zeitung, Johann Friedrich Christmann wonders whether Haydn

may be the true author: „Ist der Verfasser unser bekannter Haydn und ist das

Original wirklich italienisch?“, he asks on 6 January 1790. Carpani, on the other

hand, does not doubt its authenticity (p. 40), and scholars such as Marion M. Scott

have seen the piece in the context of Haydn‟s dealings with the King of Naples.

This edition also contains 176 patterns, but this time in a trio setting and in ¾ time.

Hoboken explains the rules of this composing game in detail (vol. I p. 473) and says

that in his youth, he, himself, still played it in Vienna. He wonders, however, whether

Haydn would have been very pleased with his results… He quotes, furthermore, the

very „noble‟ result, the Minuetto estratto de Sua Altezza Reale Beatrice Vittoria… dal

Giuoco Filarmonico del Signor Giuseppe Haydn, found in an early 19th

century

manuscript in the Modena Biblioteca Estense, but Hoboken seems to have been

instantly disgusted by the errors already found in the very first bars…

of the cartouches, and an imprint from Giovanni Ricordi, Milano. Early 19th

century

(ca. 1805-1808). In very good condition. £750

This manuscript contains one of Mozart‟s most celebrated arias, the duet Zerlina-Don

Giovanni in the first act of Don Giovanni. This score is an important document for

the early reception of Mozart‟s operatic music in Italy, which was, despite Da Ponte‟s

Italian texts, much more slowly accepted than in northern countries.

This Milanese manuscript is typical of the Italian music trade, in which, around 1800,

printing was still less common than in Northern Europe. Giovanni Ricordi, started

working as a music copyist and dealer in (foreign) printed music in 1803, and began

engraving and publishing music as late as 1808 (cf. J. Fuld, World-Famous Music, pp.

87 ff.). To judge by the luxurious title page, the item may not be ascribed to the

earliest years of Ricordi‟s activity, and he probably did not copy it himself. Examples

of manuscripts from the copisteria Ricordi are, however, exceedingly rare on the

market (in contrast to his publications, which are very common, and quite unlike

manuscript copies from Luigi Marescalchi, whose Naples copying business was much

more important than all others in Italy). Marescalchi disseminated whole operas and

oratorios in single numbers or, more rarely, in magnificent full scores, sometimes

corrected by the composers, and mostly adapted to the specific needs of the customer.

remarkably well engraved with fine rococo elements.

The music has 176 numbered bars in 2/4 time; the figures shown by two dice give a

result referring to the table which indicates the number to be taken from the music;

this procedure has to be repeated as often as necessary for the required amount of

music. According to Kirnberger, this game was highly appreciated at evening parties,

at the end of which, the newly „composed‟ music was performed by all players.

RISM S 6916. BUC p. 985. First edition of this ballad, very rare now, but popular

in its time (RISM quotes re-editions in Ireland and America). The text must have

been written (and probably composed) between the execution of Louis XVI (21

January 1793), referred to as “my murder‟d Lord”, and Marie Antoinette‟s death on

16 October 1793: in the text at least, she is still alive, but “is now grey headed” (note

on bottom of p. 2).

As is often the case, Stephen Storace‟s composition is associated with the name of his

celebrated sister Anna Selina (Nancy; 1765-1817), who trained with Antonio Sacchini

before being appointed as prima donna at the Imperial Theatre in Vienna, at the age

of 19. She was Mozart‟s first Susanna, and she was the dedicatee of one of Mozart‟s

most beautiful concert arias; on 27th

December 1786, he entered it in his own

Verzeichnis as Scena con Rondo mit Klavier-Solo. Für Madelle Storace und mich

(“Non temer, amato bene” K. 505). According to Jahn‟s biography (1856) the piano

part may express Mozart‟s love for Nancy.

The other singer in Captivity, Anna Crouch, was the inamorata of Michael Kelly, the

other important English friend (and pupil) of Mozart.

Autograph material from Stephen Storace‟s short, 34 year-long life is exceedingly

rare.
