Schneider catalogue 276.<br/><br/>First performed on June 26 1870 in Munich at the Königliches Hof und- Nationaltheater in three acts to a libretto by the composer the first day of the Ring des Nibelungen. <br/><br/>"As a single opera Die Walküre may be called the most popular part of the whole cycle; in most towns and countries it was produced much earlier than the other parts." Loewenberg col. 1013.<br/><br/>"Die Walküre is the music drama that most satisfactorily embodies the theoretical principles of Oper und Drama. A thoroughgoing synthesis of poetry and music is achieved without any notable sacrifice in musical expression. Indeed many of the most powerful passages of the work achieve their effect precisely through the organic relationship of music and text. Die Walküre is generally regarded as the most approachable of the Ring operas and it has certainly proved the most susceptible to performance in extracts." Barry Millington in Grove Music Online. B.

PN 21500. 1f. general title "Der Ring des Nibelungen" 1f. title 1f. half-title 1 cast list and contents 2-357 i blank pp. Inscribed on the title page by cellist and composer David Popper as follows: "Der unsterblichen / Muse Richard Wagner / kunstbegeisterten / Förderer durch Wort / und Schrift von / seinem ihn herzlich / .David Poper / Wien 6. Mai 1875 / III. Wagnerkonzert in Wien" "The immortal muse of Richard Wagner / his art-loving supporter through written/ and spoken word/ warmly / David Popper / Vienna 6 May 1875 / 3. Wagner concert in Vienna".    Contemporary black cloth boards quarter brown leather. Generally in fine internal condition throughout with a few light pencil markings one leaf p. 11/12 with two significant tears; spine covering largely perished boards separating from the block rear board barely holding on. Fuld p. 465; Deathridge Geck and Voss WWV p. 402; Klein p. 51. <br>The present historic copy was inscribed on the occasion of Wagner's conducting portions of Götterdämmerung in concert in Vienna in advance of the the complete opera's Bayreuth premiere in 1876. The publication of this piano vocal score preceded the full score by over a year and the general title page on which Popper has inscribed as well as the half title are common to the full scores of all four Ring operas.  As with Siegfried and Parsifal Schott's first edition of Götterdämmerung was issued in lithographed form with only a few mainly presentation copies being issued directly from the engraved plates. <br>One of the most influential cellists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Popper was a student of Julius Goltermann and at age 25 secured the position of principal in the Vienna Hofoper and the Vienna PO the youngest player to hold such a post and later joined the Hellmesberger Quartet.  He was in friendly contact with Franz Liszt whose pupil pianist Sophie Menter became Popper's first wife in 1872. This marriage which produced in 1876 a daughter Celeste ended after fourteen years although during that time the couple appeared in countless joint recitals. His acquaintance with Liszt led Popper also to Richard Wagner and in 1873 he became a co-founder of the first ever official Wagner Society the Viennese Wagner-Verband. In 1886 his marriage dissolved Popper was appointed by Liszt as professor at the National Hungarian Royal Acadamy of Music where he established the cello and chamber music divisions. He remained until his death having also served as a member of the Hubay Quartet. A cellist of superior technique and a warm powerful tone Popper was a champion of new music and the composer of more than 75 works mostly for his own instrument. His most important contribution is certainly the Hohe Schule des Violoncello-Spiels a set of 40 studies that examine the positions of the left hand within a highly chromatic Wagner-influenced setting. <br style="">Götterdämmerung is the fourth opera in the Ring cycle. Excerpts were first performed in a concert at the Musikverein in Vienna on March 25 1875; the entire work was first performed as part of the Ring cycle at Bayreuth on August 17 1876. "The final opera of the Ring. provides an appropriately weighty conclusion to the epic cycle. 26 years elapsed from the time Wagner made his first prose draft for the work then called Siegfrieds Tod to the completion of the full score with inevitable consequences in terms of stylistic unity. Retrogressive elements of grand opera exist side by side with motivic integration representative of Wagner's most mature style. And yet the stylistic integrity of Götterdämmerung is scarcely compromised so skillfully are the disparate elements welded together and so intense the dramaturgical conviction. The resources and stamina demanded by the work from both singers and orchestra combined with its sheer length and theatrical potency make it one of the most daunting yet rewarding undertakings in the operatic repertory."

‎Siegfried & The Twilight of the Gods‎

‎New York: Doubleday Page & Co 1911. 1st and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Rackham Arthur. First US limited edition no. 82 of 1150 copies quarto size 184 pp. signed by Arthur Rackham. British illustrator Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 is credited with renewing interest in book illustration at a vital moment of advances in printing technology. The subtle colours and thin lines were unlike anything that had come before as if plucked from the fog of a wild imagination breathing new life into the whole of children's book illustration. Part of Rackham's genius was his ability to convey both menace in his grotesque humanoid trees and trolls as well as delicate and almost ethereal beauty in his fairies princesses and heroines.<br/><br/>This work "Siegfried & The Twilight of the Gods" is considered by many to be Rackham's most magnificent work; based on the "Götterdämmerung" by Richard Wagner the last in his cycle of four musical dramas collectively called "Der Ring des Nibelungen" "The Ring of the Nibelung" it is loosely based on Old Norse mythologies. <br/><br/>Rackham created thirty full-colour illustrations for this work which are breathtaking in presenting the passions of the "Ring" and its many characters: the ethereal beauty of Brünnhilde the venomous evil of the dragon Fafner the cunning of the dwarves the ecstasy of love found and the subsequent despair of love betrayed and lost. Later reprints do not do these illustrations justice and Rackham justifiably oversaw the first edition reproduction processes to ensure the illustrations were to his exacting standards.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Rebound in brown laid paper boards with an ivory cloth spine original publisher's paper label laid down on the spine grey-green laid paper endpapers limitation statement with Arthur Rackham's signature on the verso of the page preceding the frontispiece title page with green lettering and a small illustration by Rackham in black the thirty colour illustrations are tipped onto heavy brown paper each with a lettered tissue guard nine drawings total including title page in black and white many signatures unopened; quarto size approximately 11.5" tall pagination: i-x 1-182 blank printer's statement printed by Ballantyne & Company Ltd London count excludes pages with tipped-in illustrations and tissue guards; limited edition of 1150 copies all signed by Rackham with 150 being reserved for America of which this is no. 82. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Near fine overall with a strong square text block hinges a bit tender but holding well the interior bright and clean obviously unread as many signatures are unopened free of prior owner markings and all the illustrations with their tissue guards are present as called for each of the illustrations being in fine condition save one pg. 108 which has a very small rubbed spot; the binding with some rubbing to the corners particularly the bottom corners overall light soiling with some small tears to the cloth spine; even with its few exterior faults and having been rebound a lovely example of this Rackham tour de force. <br/><br/>___CITATION: Latimore & Haskell pg. 37; Riall pg. 109. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please contact us for details. <br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
