rif. 4168015 measures titled and signed below the music: "Thème e Bal e La Symphonie Fantastique. H. Berlioz." Undated but ca. 1840-1850. The complete main theme of the second movement "Un Bal" carried by the violins in measures 38 to 54 of the full score. 1 leaf. Notated in dark brown ink within decorative dark gold borders on Lard-Esnault paper. Oblong quarto 227 x 300 mm. "The composition of the 'Symphonie fantastique' was a momentous event in Berlioz's career his first full-scale masterpiece and equally momentous in the history of music as the first unequivocal declaration of romantic ideas in style and musical language and its echo has pervaded all music of passion and personal experience to this day . Of Harriet Smithson's identity as the 'beloved' portrayed by an 'idée fixe' in the form of an obsessive theme that recurs in all the movements there can be no question." MacDonald: Berlioz p. 18. With: - Roger Gustave-Hippolyte 1825-1879. Autograph musical quotation signed "G. Roger" being a 12-measure song for voice and piano commencing "d'autiens tu beau miage" to lower portion of recto. With to verso: - Adam Adolphe 1803-1856. Autograph musical quotation signed "Ad. Adam" being a 16-measure waltz for pian. - Halévy Fromental 1799-1862. Autograph musical quotation signed "F. Halévy" being a 22-measure work for piano titled "Suite." A dynamic excerpt from one of the great revolutionary works of the Romantic period constructed around a recurring "idée fixe" a concept originating with Berlioz's revolutionary Symphonie Fantastique and presenting here as a recurring theme associated with Berlioz's obsession with Irish actress Harriet Smithson. A unique artifact incorporating a rare quotation from one of the most outstanding works of the symphonic repertoire of the Romantic period the whole linking Berlioz with three important French musical figures of the mid-19th century. unknown books
rif. 416811 leaf. Oblong folio 268 x ca. 170 mm. 7 measures notated in black ink on one side of the leaf. Unsigned. Several notes crossed out and a final passage rewritten. A first draft of a polyphonic theme. Identified in German in contemporary manuscript at head: "Handschrift von Hector Berlioz Erste Skizze. Benvenuto Cellini." Some wear and browning; slightly creased at folds; lower edge unevenly trimmed. The present manuscript not recorded in Holoman. Benvenuto Cellini an opéra semi-seria in two acts to a libretto by Léon de Wailly and Auguste Barbier assisted by Alfred de Vigny was based on the memoirs of Benvenuto Cellini. Set in 16th century Rome during the papacy of Clement VII the work premiered in Paris on 10 September 1838 at the Opéra and was produced in a revised version in Weimar at the Grossherzogliches Hoftheater on 20 March 1852 and with further revision in three acts on 17 November 1852. "Whether it originated as a serious or a comic opera the result in all its many versions is a compound a characteristic blend of idealism and farce grandeur and wit breadth and vivacity. Berlioz poured into Benvenuto Cellini every drop of invention and feeling at his command in a torrent of notes that make up a long and very lively opera and its heterogeneity so baffling to Parisians in 1838 and Londoners in 1853 is one of its main virtues." Macdonald: Berlioz p. 106. "Berlioz stands as the leading musician of his age in a country France whose principal artistic endeavour was then literary in an art music whose principal pioneers were then German. In many senses the Romantic movement found its fullest embodiment in him yet he had deep Classical roots and stood apart from many manifestations of that movement. His life presents the archetypal tragic struggle of new ideas for acceptance to which he gave his full exertions as composer critic and conductor. And though there were many who perceived greatness in his music from the beginning his genius only came to full recognition in the 20th century. . In Berlioz's own words Benvenuto Cellini 'contains a variety of ideas an energy and exuberance and a brilliance of colour such as I may perhaps never find again.' " Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online A rare working manuscript from one of Berlioz's important stage works evidencing the compositional process through its autograph revisions. While short musical quotations in Berlioz's hand are not rare his sketch leaves are very rare to the market; we have located only one example at auction in over 30 years. unknown books

"Shakespeare's plays were to supply the basis of three of Berlioz's major works Roméo et Juliette Béatrice et Bénédict and the Roi Lear overture. In addition there were at least three pieces inspired by Hamlet a fantasy on The Tempest and some direct borrowings in Les Troyens. More profoundly Shakespeare provided a framework for the structure of both Roméo et Juliette and Les Troyens and was a source in the form of dramatic truth of Berlioz's fundamental notion of expressive truth. Berlioz was to read and quote Shakespeare avidly for the rest of his life putting him alongside Virgil in his literary pantheon." Grove online. Brandus et Cie. [PN 818] unknown books

rif. 354342 pp. of a bifolium. Octavo. Dated "31 Juillet" no year. To an unidentified male correspondent. On lined paper. In French with translation. Berlioz apologizes for not being able to edit his article on Bortnyansky with which he hopes his correspondent will be satisfied. "The fragment of musical criticism which I wanted to add to the item on Bortnianski is in the hands of Mr. M. Levy's printer who is at present bringing out a book which contains this article. It is impossible for me - since the printer is not in Paris - to rework my manuscript. Therefore be good enough to be satisfied with the Russian article; it is accurate on the whole and it would be difficult for me to redo a study on Bortnianski and Emperor of Russia's singers that is already done." The composer/critic goes on say that he would be happy for extracts of the article to appear in L'Illustration and in a postscript asks his correspondent to send him a copy of the periodical in which his article appears. Slightly worn; creased at folds and very slightly overall. Dmitri Stepanovich Bortnyansky 1751-1825 was a Ukrainian singer composer and music director active in Russia. "During the 19th century Bortnyansky choral concertos and hymns gained popularity across Western Europe; some copies of concertos preserved in the library of the Hofkapelle in Vienna date from as early as 1780. Berlioz who heard the concertos in Russia in the 1840s praised the 'incredible freedom' of their approach to choral sonority Les soirées de l'orchestre Paris 1852 and included Bortnyansky's music in several of his own concerts in Paris." Marika Kuzma in Grove Music Online "Berlioz stands as the leading musician of his age in a country-France-whose principal artistic endeavour was then literary and in an art-music-whose principal pioneers were then German. In many senses the Romantic movement found its fullest embodiment in him yet he had deep Classical roots and stood apart from many manifestations of that movement. His life presents the archetypal tragic struggle of new ideas for acceptance to which he gave his full exertions as composer critic and conductor. And though there were many who perceived greatness in his music from the beginning his genius only came to full recognition in the 20th century. . Berlioz's views were presented regularly to readers of the Paris press. . He published three collections of criticism: Les soirées de l'orchestre 1852 Les grotesques de la musique 1859 and A travers chants 1862. In his feuilletons he wrote of new operas and singers .; his opinion on momentous occasions was of crucial interest for example at the première of Le prophète in 1849. He reviewed most of the concerts of the Société des Concerts; he wrote of new instruments and musical gadgets of his own impressions of music abroad and of important musicians visiting France; he wrote biographical notices of Gluck Beethoven Spontini Méhul and himself; he wrote fiction and fantasy often with a critical purpose; he wrote serialized treatises on orchestration and conducting. There are in short few facets of musical practice of the time untouched in his feuilletons. . In general Berlioz's opinions are trenchant and clearly expressed."
