‎Silvain Comédie en un Acte et en Vers Dédié A son Altesse Royale Monseigneur Le Prince Charles de Pologne Due de Saxe de Courlande et de Semigalle. Gravé par le Sr. Dezauche Prix 15th . Oeuvre IVE. Full score‎

‎Paris: Aux Adresses ordinaires . Lion M. Castaud . M. Serrieres 1770. Folio. Full contemporary green vellum with octagonal cut paper label to upper with titling in manuscript. 1f. rec to title verso dedication 134 pp. Engraved. With overpaste of Parisian music publisher "Bailleux" to imprint. From the collection of the American composer and conductor Gene Forrell 1915-2005 with his signature and embossed London address to endpapers. Binding slightly worn rubbed and bumped; vellum to hinge and upper board split. Light uniform browning. First Edition second issue. Lesure p. 263. Sonneck: Dramatic Music p. 69. Hirsch II 361. RISM G4438. Silvain to a libretto by Marmontel after S. Gessner's Erast was first performed in Paris at the Comedie Italienne Bourgogne on February 19 1770. "Grétry's operas which enjoyed such a vogue in France. cannot be judged without the contribution of his librettists. Nevertheless full credit must be given to his own contributions to the planning partly revealed in his Réflexions d'un solitaire as well as his unrelenting desire to extend the scope of both opéra comique and opéra. Grétry's very attractive melodic gift was an essential ingredient and helps justify the occasional revival of his music. With his librettists he brought to life a range of splendidly imagined characters ranging from bumpkins to monarchs or from a rebellious female warrior to the murderous Bluebeard. His best scores had wide currency especially in Germany: it is hard to imagine the evolution of opéra comique and Romantic opera in general without the part played by his works." David Charlton in Grove Music Online. Aux Adresses ordinaires ... Lion M. Castaud ... M. Serrieres unknown‎
