GLUCK Christoph Willibald von : - Paride ed Elena. Dramma per Musica. Dedicato a sua Altezza, il Signor Duca Don Giovanni di Braganza etc. etc. etc.

.: Vienna ( Wien ) , nella stamparia aulica di Giovanni Tomaso de Trattnern, 1770, in-folio, 386 x 280 mm , half title + title + (4) nn pp ( dedication) + (4) nn pp + 233 pp (score) + (1)(bl), complete. Bound in half leather with marbled boards, red title label on spine (modern). First leaves with some thumbmarks, but a fine copy. Copy from the library of D. van Reysschoot - Gent, with his blindstamp in the upper right corner of the half title. He was a professor at the Academy of Music in Ghendt (Flanders) at the beginning of the 20th century. Inserted is a letter of the wellknown Berliner music antiquarian Leo Liepmannssohn offering 1800 Belgian francs for this book ( dated 29 januari 1930). Obviously this deal did not work out as we could purchase the book in Belgium. Parida ed Elena , in first edition here , is the socalled third and last program opera by Gluck (after ''Orfeo and Euridice'' and ''Alceste''). In the 4 pp introduction/dedication the composer states again some ideas which guided him by the composition of this opera. This text, in Italian, marks the beginning of a new artistic awareness in Western music. The complete score is entirely printed in woodcut by Johann Thomas von Trattner (1719 - 1798) one of the most important bookprinters of the 18th century in Austria, who became a wealthy society figure and was intimately befriended with Mozart. He lived in the Trattnerhof, where Mozart organized subscription concerts in 1784. His second wife Maria Theresia von Nagel was one of Mozart's pupils. .
