"Some of his published works had considerable success and were subsequently reprinted. The three-movement sonatas of op. 1 which Handel judged favourably exhibit sectional contrasts characteristic of the ripieno concerto. In the op. 2 sonatas also in three movements Fritz approached the style of the Turin school with a richly decorated solo line supported by a thematically unrelated bass; some of the final movements are sets of chaconne variations." Jürg Stenzl in Grove Music Online Together with: SAMMARTINI Giovanni Battista 1700-1775 Op. 1 Six Sonatas for two Violins and a Thorough Bass . Opera Prima. London: Printed for and sold by John Cox at the Bass Viol and Flute in Sweetings Alley opposite the East Door of the Royal Exchange ca. 1750.

"Sammartini was primarily an instrumental composer and one of the leading writers of concertos and sonatas in England between 1730 and 1750. His printed collections include 24 sonatas for flute and bass 30 trios for flutes or violins 24 concerti grossi four keyboard concertos an oboe concerto 16 overtures and some flute duets and cello sonatas. The tuneful Recorder Concerto in F found in only one source S-Skma has become his best-known work. Hawkins classed Sammartini's instrumental music with that of Corelli and Geminiani. Though his music is rooted in the late Baroque style it also reflects some later trends. There is considerable variety in the number succession and type of movements. . His music played a fundamental role in the formation of the Classical style. He was one of the most advanced and experimental composers of the early Classical period and the first great master of the symphony preserving his individuality despite the rise of the Viennese and Mannheim schools. Though the extent of Sammartini's influence is still not fully measured the high quality of his music places him among the leading creative spirits of the 18th century."

1644Best.-Nr. 14139Lisboa: Pablo Craesbeck 1644. 198x145mm. 7¾x5¾". Lisboa Pablo Craesbeck s.a 1644. En 4º menor 198 x 145mm. 4 78 pp. 1 lámina plegada. 4 diagramas tipográficos a toda página. Pergamino del siglo XVIII guardas delanteras renovadas. Primera edición de altas cotizaciones en el mercado y considerable rareza especialmente completo de su lámina. Palau le asigna erroneamente fecha de 1641 pero es imposible porque las licencias son de 1644. La Biblioteca Nacional consigna fecha de 1644 y esa fecha consignamos nosotros. En el catálogo de la Biblioteca Nacional tienen sólo un ejemplar y no mencionan la lámina plegada posiblemente les falte; CCPB registra sólo otros dos ejemplares en España. Fuera de España OCLC consigna sólo el ejemplar de la Harvard Library. En la Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal hay sólo un ejemplar que he consultado y se encuentra en muy malas condiciones con graves pérdidas de texto además tampoco tiene la lámina. Esto da idea de la extraordinaria rareza del libro posiblemente por la mala calidad del papel que se utilizó para la impresión. El capitán Antonio Gallo natural de Santa Cruz de Zarza Toledo quien sirvió en los ejércitos españoles por espacio de 32 años manejó gloriosamente la espada y consagró su pluma al aprovechamiento de su profesión en los que aprendió el oficio de soldado y el de cabo y sargento grados por donde ascendió a capitán. Este Regimiento Militar que trata de como los soldados se han de governar junto con su Destierro de Ignorancias 1639 es el antecesor y fuente de inspiración de las Ordenanzas Militares de Carlos III publicadas ciento treinta años después y de las ordenanzas de otros países. Según el investigador José Antonio García Albares del autor destaca su sentido del deber junto con su gran humanidad hasta el punto que gran parte de sus escritos podemos llamarles lección de convivencia cien por cien válida para la vida civil. En la revista Armas y Letras del Ayuntamiento de Madrid año VII nº 126 30 de enero de 1926 dicen del autor: "Desde la plaza de soldado llegó al empleo de Sargento mayor; en treinta y dos años de afanosa vida mereció la estimación de los superiores y el aprecio de los subordinados; los campos de batalla le dejaron como recuerdo honrosas cicatrices en el rostro y en la mano derecha". Antigua restauración al verso de la portada sin afectar; papel tostado ligera mancha de agua en el margen superior en algunas hojas a mitad del volumen numerosas apostillas marginales manuscritas del siglo XVII o XVIII. Aun estos defectos podemos considerarlo un buen ejemplar pues fue impreso en papel de mala calidad que se ha amarronado lo que explica la enorme rareza de este libro tan importante.

1913Best.-Nr. 191526Berlin: Dietrich Reimer Ernst Vohsen 1913. Finds that were scientifically important as well as spectacular First edition of this imposing portfolio showcasing some of the extraordinary discoveries made by Le Coq in Turfan between November 1904 and December 1905. Twenty-four of the plates concern the murals he removed from the Buddhist caves at Bezeklik. The originals were destroyed by bombs during the Second World War leaving Chotscho the sole surviving record of their brilliance. Born into a family of brewers Le Coq trained in Arabic Persian and Sanskrit in Berlin. Between 1904 and 1914 he helped organize three of the four German Turfan expeditions to investigate the history of the Silk Road in Xinjiang. For the second expedition known as the First Royal Prussian Expedition because it was the first to receive state funding Le Coq was joined by Theodor Bartus a veteran of the first expedition's team led by Albert Grünwedel. The two men travelled through the Turfan Oasis and along the northern Silk Road excavating at the ancient city of Gaocheng and exploring the sites of Sängim Bezeklik Murtuk and Toyuk. They united with the third expedition in Kashgar at the end of 1905. Overall Le Coq and Bartus collected enough wall paintings and ancient Christian and Buddhist texts to fill 103 crates. Copies were also issued in portfolios of brown cloth. No priority has been established. Folio. With 75 plates 45 colour of which 74 with accompanying explanatory sheet; 26 pp. of introductory letterpress. Text in German.
