BLAINVILLE (Charles Henri de): - Histoire Générale, Critique et Philologique de La Musique, Dédiée à La Duchesse de Villeroy.
A Paris, Chez Pissot..., 1757. FIRST EDITION. 4to, pp. xi [xii "Avertissement"], 189 [190 "Approbation," 191 - 192 "Privilege du Roi"], 68 engraved plates, including frontispiece which is supplied in facsimile, contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments, morocco label; lower corner of first four leaves water-stained, and slightly frayed, joints and corners neatly restored. Blainville (1710 - 1777) maintained that he had discovered a third mode of music between major and minor, which he called "mode mixte"; his symphony in this mode was first performed on 30 May 1751, and Rousseau commented favourably upon it.
