Original portrait painting after the well known painting by Étienne Aubry 1745-1781 held at the Louvre in Paris. Oil on board. Unsigned

rif. 40422Paris 19th century. 61 x 47.3 cms with frame 69.5 x 56 cms. The composer is depicted bust-length turned 3/4 left facing forward wearing a red jacket blue waistcoat white collared blouse with lace and wig. For a fine full-page color illustration of the original held at the Louvre see MGG Vol. 5 plate 15. "Gluck was recognized as an extraordinary phenomenon in his lifetime as is evident from Burney's deferential treatment of the composer during his visit to Vienna in 1772. Shortly afterwards the controversy stirred in French journals resonated well beyond the capital to other countries. The daily cultural discourse of Paris concerned Gluck's 'musical revolution' a catch-phrase taken up by Gluck's opponents such as Jean-François Marmontel as well as by his defenders; in 1781 the 'revolution worked in music by M. le Chevalier Gluck' later dubbed the 'German Orpheus' was used as the title of a collection of pamphlets for and against Gluck with a heavy editorial bias in favour Lesure c1984. Although operas by Piccinni Salieri and especially Sacchini as well as French contemporaries such as Grétry continued alongside Gluck in the French repertoire beyond the Revolution and Empire revivals of Gluck constituted the principal touchstone of dramatic music into the 1820s when the last routine revivals were acclaimed by Berlioz. Opera composers including Salieri Lemoyne and Vogel in Paris were presented or presented themselves as his legitimate successors; elsewhere Mozart especially in Idomeneo and J.M. Kraus were strongly affected by Gluck's example in constructing scenes applying a dramatically motivated admixture of lyricism and more direct and declamatory vocal expression and sometimes in modelling as when the statue in Don Giovanni adopts the tone of the oracle in Alceste. After his death his direct effect can still be heard in Die Zauberflöte and in several French operas including those of Méhul Cherubini and Spontini. Among the Romantics he continued to inspire respect and from Berlioz and Wagner emulation. Berlioz supervised productions of Orphée and Alceste in Paris 1859 and 1866. In Orphée Berlioz created the basis for the version most used over the next century at least by restoring the Italian key-scheme in several scenes to accomodate the tessitura of the title role to a female singer; Pauline Viardot was the first in a line to include Giulia Ravoli Kathleen Ferrier Janet Baker and others although the French version with tenor retained some currency. Musicians close to Berlioz began to realize his ideal of a complete critical edition although only a handful of 'reform' operas were published. Wagner wrote about Gluck in Oper und Drama having learned much from deep study of Iphigénie en Aulide of which he made a modernized performing version Dresden 1847. In 1890 for Weimar Richard Strauss similarly adapted Iphigénie en Tauride. Such orchestrational revision and the melding of recitative and aria to blur Gluck's structure of closed forms represented a style of musical archaeology from which Handel and Mozart also suffered or in terms of public exposure benefited. The later 20th century witnessed not only numerous revivals of the reform operas some in musically authentic form and including the Vienna Orfeo but also a less one-sided critical view of Gluck became possible with the publication of a new critical edition and a revival of interest in works in other genres especially opéra comique and with Don Juan ballet. Winton Dean has observed that Gluck's compromise between the demands of words and music 'was one of the most satisfying and successful of all and has placed his greatest works beyond the reach of time' Grove6. None of Gluck's operas except Orfeo/Orphée is likely to become a staple work in the repertory; however to the extent that every production has the aspect of a revival continued interest in his achievement and consequently revival of an increasing proportion of his output is guaranteed so long as opera continues to occupy a central place in Western musical culture."

For Hugh: Only great fondness could keep my admiration admiration & not envy from Louise". The recipient was the poet Hugh Seidman whom Glück greatly admired. "I know few collections so lacking in complacency so adamant in their refusal to charm or console so fiercely intelligent" she wrote of his Collecting Evidence 1970. "If Seidman has less conspicuous virtuosity than Plath to fix on the obvious contemporary example he has to my mind greater subtlety an inclination to prefer recalcitrant mystery to hallucination".

Fêtes de Gutenberg à Strasbourg. Cortége Industriel de Strasbourg

1840rif. 008068Strasbourg: Emile Simon Fils 1840. First Edition. Quarter Morocco. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. Colorful 1840 three day celebration of the unveiling of a statue to Johann Gutenberg which occurred on June 24 through the 26th 1840. This stunning color plate book is almost entirely devoted to the endless parade organized for the event that proceeded during the second day or the 25th -- based on the dates given in the plate captioning. In this parade each of many professions had its own contingent and dressed and carried a sometimes impressive prop reflecting on the profession. From the vast number of paraders it would seem that virtually everyone in Strasbourg was an active participant. Oblong folio 32 by 53 cm. 48 hand-colored plates with five of the plates with fold-outs and thus extra long. Fold-out plates are counted as two plates in the enumeration which thus goes up to the number 53. In complete form this book is scarce. Outside of France and Germany the only hard copy showing on OCLC First Search is at the Morgan. It isn't clear to us whether the copies in Europe are commensurate but at most there may be half a dozen copies. No copies found in commerce on the date of this listing. Contemporary morocco spine moderately rubbed and scratches on the paper pastedown. Leaves age toned with deeper age toning affecting the fold-out plates. Occasional foxing with perhaps two plates with a considerable amount. A very short closed tear or two. Some shake to the binding as typical in such an extreme oblong book. Emile Simon Fils unknown

The National Gallery of Art Washington D.C. 2003 p. 107. "The present bust is probably one of the Louvre's copies. . It was in his depiction of Gluck that Houdon first showed the ravages of smallpox on a subject - it was a common affliction in eighteenth-century France but artists were expected to flatter their subjects in this respect at least." Bonhams catalogue "Gluck was an artist a great musician and therefore must be given the attributes of a genius. His face was deeply pockmarked and the sculptor used this fact to establish his theme. He clothed him in a heavy coat whose texture is an overall pattern of slashed grooves free and direct in their expressive impact. Here there was no attempt to stimulate the appearance of the actual material but rather in a manner almost Rodinesque to bring out the quality of the clay. The open shirt the unbuttoned vest the short disheveled hair and the alert titled pose of the head all emphasize the impact of genius." Arnason: The Sculptures of Houdon p. 34. unknown
