6 volumes in-8, plein veau porphyre de l'époque, dos lisses ornés de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, plats encadrés de triples filets dorés, coupes filetées, tranches jaspées, 3 frontispices et 22 planches gravées. Première édition collective des oeuvres de Diderot publiée sous l'adresse sans doute fictive de Marc Michel Rey à Amsterdam, alors que ce dernier n'était pas parvenu à un accord avec l'auteur pour l'édition de ses oeuvres (cf. Wilson, p. 515). L'illustration comporte 3 frontispices et 22 planches gravées hors texte. Selon Adams, cette édition aurait été imprimée dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens, alors que pour D. Droixhe ('Diderot et son temps', n° 226): "un des tout premiers recueils des écrits de Diderot, sinon le premier, qu'il est permis de considérer comme liégeois". Elle renferme à côté des oeuvres de Diderot, trois textes qui ne sont pas de lui: 'Code de la Nature' (de Morelly), 'Mémoire pour Abraham Chaumeix' (de Morellet) et 'A MM. les Esprits forts'. (Adams, A2. Tchemerzine-Scheler, II, 957. Cat. expo. B.N., n° 517. Cohen, p. 303). Dorure légèrement passée. Quelques accrocs aux coiffes et quelques rousseurs. Très bon exemplaire, grand de marges, bien relié à l'époque.

2 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs ornés de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet sur les coupes, tranches rouges. 1- Deuxième édition publiée quelques semaines après l'originale, de ce brûlot qui envenima la "querelle des Bouffons" pour des décennies. "Le résumé des idées de Rousseau sur la musique (...), le plus impitoyable des réquisitoires contre la musique française qui fit scandale (…). En manière de représailles, les musiciens de l'Opéra brûlèrent Rousseau en effigie dans la cour du théâtre" (Catalogue exposition Rousseau, B.N. 1962, n° 116). Rousseau ne critiquait pas seulement l'infériorité de la langue française, mais aussi l'esthétique de l'opéra français de son temps, "le conventionnel des représentations, les airs à roulades sans rapport avec les sentiments, l'apparat ridicule des scènes à machines, les éclats vocaux et les excessives gesticulations des interprètes (…), l'absence d'action dramatique, l'abus d'une mythologie ressassée et la pompeuse niaiserie des livrets" (Cf. Jacques Gheusi, "E. Universalis"). (Bibliothèque Cortot, p. 171. Fétis, 3943. Dufour, 32. Gregory, p.237. RISM B/VI/2 p.734. Sénelier, 120. Tchemerzine-Scheler, V, 529). 2- Edition originale. La réponse de Rousseau à l'article "Genève" qui venait de paraître dans l'Encyclopédie, dans lequel D'Alembert suggérait des réformes pour la ville de Genève: projet pour une "cité philosophe" de liberté politique et culturelle, notamment par la levée de l'interdiction d'un théâtre permanent. Rousseau résume dans sa critique tout ce qu'il dénonçait déjà comme une illusion: "le théâtre comme école de l'hypocrisie, le bel esprit, la civilité telle qu'on la conçoit à Paris sont inconciliables avec les mœurs de véritables citoyens. Ses thèses sur les spectacles ne sont qu'un aspect de sa réflexion sur la modernité: à quelles conditions la république est-elle possible ? Comment lier adéquatement morale, esthétique et politique" (cf. B. Bachefen, ENS éditions). (Gagnebin, V, 1812. Tchemerzine-Scheler, V, 535). Quelques rousseurs éparses. Petit ex-libris raturé et auréoles dans le fond de plusieurs cahiers du 2e texte. Très bon exemplaire, relié à l'époque.

1837ref. List3613Philadelphia: Firth Meignen & Co. Publishers & Importers of Music and Musical Instruments No. 41 Chestnut Street 1837. Seven pages complete including dance figures. Folio sheet music. Very good with scattered foxing and light edge wear. A rare early American operatic dance arrangement by Francis Johnson 1792-1844 widely regarded as the first published Black composer in the United States. Issued circa 1837 this work adapts themes from Vincenzo Bellini's opera La Sonnambula 1831 into a set of quadrilles with concluding waltz arranged for piano forte and structured for social dancing. The internal headings "Pantalon" "Ladies Chain" etc. retain the formal quadrille sequence reflecting the popularity of European ballroom forms in Philadelphia during the period. Johnson a Philadelphia bandleader composer and virtuoso keyed bugle player published approximately seventy compositions over nearly three decades. Active in Philadelphia from at least the 1810s he became one of the city's most sought-after musicians leading ensembles for cotillions public balls military functions and civic celebrations. In 1818 became the first African-American composer known to have sheet music published in the United States. His band performed for elite social events and public commemorations including celebrations for the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Philadelphia. In 1838 he toured Europe with his ensemble performing in England and reportedly receiving a silver trumpet from Queen Victoria. This piece was composed a year earlier per the Johnson page at Musicalgeography.com six years after Bellini's work. Operatic paraphrases and dance adaptations of fashionable European works were central to Johnson's output. Overall a quite scarce early title from an important composer. We find two copies in OCLC 692295106 at AAS and the William Clements Library. See "Francis Johnson's Compositions - With Sheet Music" https://musicalgeography.org/francis-johnsons-compositions/.

Penna, acquerelli e biacca Misure: mm 250 x 355 Pittore e scenografo noto per il suo lavoro presso l'Opera Nazionale di Parigi. Studia Pittura e Architettura a Parigi e vince il Prix de Rome trascorrendo tre anni a Villa Medici. La prima esposizione al Salon è del 1844 con un dipinto di paesaggio indiano d'invenzione. Il paesaggio dal vero o d'invenzione è un genere che Chaperon affronterà lungo tutta la sua carriera e dal quale trarrà ispirazione per la produzione scenografica. Dopo aver collaborato con il famoso studio di scenografia di Pierre Luc Charles Ciceri (1782-1868) fonda nel 1864 con Rubé l'atelier "Rubé et Chaperon" e per i successivi 30 anni produce numerose scenografie e decorazioni per teatri in tutta la Francia e Belgio. Nel 1895 lascia l'atelier ma continua a lavorare per teatri e decorazioni di edifici pubblici e privati. Alla sua morte i tre figli proseguirono l'attività. Moltissimi suoi disegni, conservati nei musei francesi, documentano la sua attività. Il disegno è una scenografia per l'opera Le juif errant: un'opera in cinque atti e otto tableaux di Fromental Halévy, su libretto di Eugène Scribe e Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges. Il tema è ispirato al romanzo moraleggiante di Eugéne Sue edito nel 1844. L'opera venne rappresentata a Parigi alla Salle Peletier nel 1852 con scarso successo. Presso la Biblioteque Nationale si conserva una scenografia per il primo atto datata 1879. Benché la vicenda si svolga fra il XII e il XIII secolo il disegno propone un elegante interno riccamente arredato nel gusto dell'epoca di Chaperon stesso. Siamo in una splendida sala dall'architettura orientale, probabilmente nel quarto atto, è l'appartamento di Irene, figlia dell'Imperatore d'Oriente. Il disegno è firmato e datato in basso a sinistra: Ch Chaperon 1867. La data non corrisponde alla prima rappresentazione, evidentemente l'autore deve aver lavorato sul soggetto per un altro teatro. Il disegno è applicato lungo i soli margini a foglio d'album sul quale, in grafia coeva, si trovano le indicazioni: (boudoir) Le juif errant julliet 1867. Ottimo stato di conservazione eccetto una minima mancanza in alto a destra nel foglio di supporto.
