the composer’s initials “T.A.” on the imprint. In good condition. £750

RISM A and AA 2742 (3 copies in D, Gb and USA). – Attwood is considered to have

been Mozart’s favourite pupil (Vienna 1785-87). It is said that amongst all his pupils,

Attwood understood his musical style best. Despite his considerable importance as an

English composer of sacred music, the memory of Attwood is mainly related to

Mozart’s teaching (the “Attwood-studies” resulting from the classes, which show

many additions and corrections in Mozart’s hand, were published in the Neue Mozart-

Ausgabe). Moreover, Attwood used Mozart’s music in several of his own operas. He

became one of the leading figures of English musical life about 1800. He composed

19 operas, and was then organist at St Paul’s cathedral and composer of the Chapel

Royal from 1795 onwards. Eventually, in 1821, he became composer to King George

IV’s private chapel.

Attwood published numerous Glees, among them, the present one by Walter Scott

(1771–1832) – one of the most famous English authors. This work is set for mixed

vocal quartet with a four-handed piano accompaniment. This publication appeared in

the series Vocal English as no. 109. The following catalogue lists 25 Songs &

Ballads, 2 Duets and 16 Glees. – This copy is from the estate of the English family

publishers, Novello. The copy was dedicated to Clara Anastasia Novello (1818–

1908), the publisher’s daughter and an opera singer. Autograph documents by

Thomas Attwood are extremely rare.

page, 14 pp. (score), 1 p. Catalogue of T.

Attwood’s Music, engraved, folio. With an

autograph dedication on the title: To Miss

Novello with the Composer’s best regards,

and with Attwood’s initials “”TA” under the

imprint. In fine condition. £680

RISM A 2740 (only 1 copy in D-B). – The

title is bordered by branches (a simple, but

attractive design). The work is set for two

sopranos and a baritone, piano and harp. The score is arranged in systems of seven

staves; the two first and last two staves are for the pianos (or Piano / harp), the central

staves refer to the vocal parts. The composition is mostly homophonic and has some

echoing sections. The catalogue is identical with the previous item. The dedicatee is

probably also the opera singer, Clara Anastasia Novello, the daughter of the famous

publisher.

Easter 1848, to the publisher C. Lonsdale in London. 3 pp., 8vo, page 3 with the

stunningly large signature, in very good condition. £180

“Many, many thanks! my old friend of 1820”; Cianchettini hopes to be able to repay

an old debt. “In the meanwhile – I have no doubt that you will be disposed to accept

the dedication of this vocal gem, one of Zingarelli’s most celebrated Duetto (one of

his masterpieces!) ‘Giuro al paterna Sangue’. This may be very useful, some evening

at the Ancient Concerts, where Zingarelli has now the honour of being canonized with

the other great Italian masters”. Cianchettini offers to provide the score and parts

and suggests showing them to [Michael] Costa, who “will know how to appreciate

it”.

Pio Cianchettini, born in London 1799, was a composer and pianist. His mother,

Katerina Dusikova, was the sister of the pianist J. L. Dussek; his father, Francesco

Cianchettini of Rome, was head of the London music publishing firm Cianchettini &

Sperati. At the age of five, he appeared at the Opera House as an infant prodigy. A

year later, he travelled with his father through Holland, Germany and France, where

he was hailed as the English Mozart. By the age of eight, he had mastered English,

French, German and Italian. In 1809, he performed a concerto of his own composition

in London. He published cantatas (e.g. on words from “Paradise Lost”), Italian

Nocturnes and other vocal and piano music.

19) CIANCHETTINI, Pio (1799–1851). Autograph musical manuscript signed,

inscribed and dated “for Mess. D’Almaine and C. Cianch. 1843, titled: New Edition of

Dussek’s celebrated Octave Lesson for the Piano Forte (op. 12 N° 1). Revised by his

nephew Pio Cianchettini. Pr. 3f. London, D’Almaine and Co. 20 Soho Sq. Title + 13

pp., piano score on twelve staves, written in brown ink, partly browned, otherwise in

good condition. With an old ex libris showing the initials “WLHC” (William

Hayman Cummings). £420

This seems to be the Stichvorlage but does not show the engraver’s markings.

Dussek’s Op. 12 is a collection of three sonatas for piano and violin, the first of which

is in F major, like the ‘lesson’ of our manuscript. The introduction, Maestoso ed

Espressivo, is not likely to have been written in this way for piano-violin duet; this is

perhaps a rhapsodic addition by Dussek’s nephew, Cianchettini. The following

Allegro spiritoso frequently uses a theme in octaves; this and several triplet passages,

marked [con] 8va alta, may give the impression of an almost technical composition.

This does not seem to be the aim of this well constructed and ‘classically’ conceived

work, whose highly musical expression is, however, intimately mixed with high

technical demands. The title Octava Lesson does not occur in Dussek’s list of works

and may be the formulation of his nephew Cianchettini, who, perhaps, added several

octave lines to make the piano part more demanding.

102) STORACE, Stephen (1762–1796). Captivity. A Ballad. Supposed to be Sung

pp., folio, engraved, signed by the composer at the end (“Storace”) for the

authentication of this edition. Fore-edges a little browned, some fingerings in pencil,

otherwise very fine. £480

RISM S 6916. BUC p. 985. First edition of this ballad, very rare now, but popular

in its time (RISM quotes re-editions in Ireland and America). The text must have

been written (and probably composed) between the execution of Louis XVI (21

January 1793), referred to as “my murder’d Lord”, and Marie Antoinette’s death on

16 October 1793: in the text at least, she is still alive, but “is now grey headed” (note

on bottom of p. 2).

As is often the case, Stephen Storace’s composition is associated with the name of his

celebrated sister Anna Selina (Nancy; 1765-1817), who trained with Antonio Sacchini

before being appointed as prima donna at the Imperial Theatre in Vienna, at the age

of 19. She was Mozart’s first Susanna, and she was the dedicatee of one of Mozart’s

most beautiful concert arias; on 27th

December 1786, he entered it in his own

Verzeichnis as Scena con Rondo mit Klavier-Solo. Für Madelle Storace und mich

(“Non temer, amato bene” K. 505). According to Jahn’s biography (1856) the piano

part may express Mozart’s love for Nancy.

The other singer in Captivity, Anna Crouch, was the inamorata of Michael Kelly, the

other important English friend (and pupil) of Mozart. Autograph material from

Stephen Storace’s short, 34 year-long life is exceedingly rare.
