Rimsky-Korsakov | A Short Biography
Abraham, Gerald [Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (18 March [O.S. 6 March] 1844 - 21 June [O.S. 8 June] 1908) was a Russian composer, and a member of the group of composers known as The Five and was a master of orchestration. The Five, also known as the Mighty Handful and the New Russian School, were five prominent 19th-century Russian composers who worked together to create distinct Russian classical music. Mily Balakirev (the leader), César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin all lived in Saint Petersburg, and collaborated from 1856 to 1870].

Condition: Very good. April 11, 1945., 1945. Very good. - Over 250 words typed on his personal 10-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide embossed watermarked linen stationery. Irving Berlin writes to Bob Sidney, the choreographer of his important World War II musical "This Is the Army", concerning new music he created for the show's t…our of the Philippines. He writes that "I hope all went well in Mendora [Mindora] and that the new number is working out.As I wrote you from Leyte, unless this number is a riot, I wouldn't keep it in. Another spot may help, but I still feel the number is too slow." Berlin had introduced his new song, "Heaven Watch the Philippines", during a ceremony in Leyte in March of 1945, singing the song with a chorus of Filipino girls and the cast of the play "This Is the Army". He wrote the song as a tribute to the Filipino people and their resilience during World War II. In his letter to Bob Sidney he expresses his concern that the song will be misunderstood. "I am really concerned about the Philippine song especially when you play Manila and the rest of the tour through the Philippines. I hope Shanley [Pvt. Robert Shanley] got away with the announcement. If not, someone else should explain the song. It makes much more sense with an announcement. I would also try to get some children for every performance as we did in Leyte. In any event, the shows you play in Manila should have the children for every performance." Signed in full "Irving Berlin". Folded for mailing with some light creases. Near fine. Originally composed as a Broadway Musical, Irving Berlin's "This is the Army" was staged as a morale-boosting revue to raise money for the troops. The musical opened on Broadway on July 4, 1942 during the Second World War with a cast consisting of 300 uniformed soldiers. The show was so successful that it was followed by a national and international tour, playing in the European, Far East and Pacific Theaters of War. Irving Berlin designed the show so that he could insert new songs depending on the location of the performances. "My British Buddy" was composed for the English performances and "Heaven Watch the Philippines" for Pacific Island shows. The song "Heaven Watch the Philippines" was written as a tribute to the Filipino people's resilience during the war and as a benefit to aid in the recovery following the war. Dedicated to General Douglas MacArthur, Berlin sang the song with a chorus of Filipino girls and the cast of the musical in a presentation ceremony in Philippine city of Leyte in March 1945. He subsequently donated the song to the country with proceeds to go to the Boy & Girl Scouts of the Philippines. The Russian-born American composer and songwriter Irving Berlin (1888-1989) wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including scores for 20 Broadway musicals and 15 Hollywood movies. His music forms a large part of the Great American Songbook. The American choreographer Robert Sidney (1909-2008) was self-taught as a dancer. He made his Broadway debut in "On Your Toes" in 1936 and appeared in George Balanchine's "Keep Off the Grass". Assigned to the Special Services Division during the Second World War, he was the principal choreographer for Irving Berlin's musical "This Is The Army" and was later involved in the movie version starring Ronald Reagan. He choreographed many Broadway shows and worked with Bing Crosby, Rita Hayworth, Nancy Walker, Jackie Gleason, Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds and Mitzi Gaynor. He also went on to work in television, choreographing for "The Dean Martin Show", television versions of musicals, and 4 Academy Awards shows.

Partial score. Secretarial manuscript with autograph amendments. 20 pp. (without end and solo parts). One gathering of 5 four-page sheets, staff paper by Breitkopf & Härtel, Leipzig (22 staves). Modern half calf (1968) with gilt title and ownership. Highly appealing manuscript of the Concert Fantasia for piano and orchestra, Op.… 56, formerly in the collection of Stefan Zweig: a secretarial copy prepared at the time of the work's composition, containing several autograph additions in Tchaikovsky's own hand. The manuscript was long considered by scholarship to be fully holograph; a more recent expert opinion by the musicologist Thomas Kohlhase of Cologne (included) proves its more complex genesis. - Tchaikovsky made several changes to the manuscript with his own pen: the first of these is on pp. 11/12, bars 36-39 of the first movement (three bars on p. 11 and the first bar of page 12, Violin I). Another correction is in the final four bars of the last page of music (p. 20), in the accolade of two staves of the horn voices I/II and III/IV (bars 59-62 of the first movement). In addition, there are a few autograph insertions on the first and last page of music as well as on p. 12, in each case indicating the instruments more precisely. - While some questions regarding the incompleteness of the manuscript and its purpose remain unresolved, "there can be virtually no doubt that this well-preserved item, even if largely a copy by a different hand, was created in Tchaikovsky's sphere and was reviewed and, in some places, revised by the composer himself. There are various indications that it was penned during Tchaikovsky's first tour abroad in 1887/88, either in Paris in the spring of 1888 or - more likely - in Leipzig and the end of 1887 or early in 1888 [.] Thus, this manuscript, although it comprises only a part of the entire work and can no longer be flatly considered 'holograph', remains a valuable and notable document that complements the complete original sources of the Concert Fantasia Op. 56, not only for collectors of old, attractive and interesting musical manuscripts, but also for the musicologist investigating the tradition and reception of music as well as philological and more specifically editorial aspects" (expert opinion, p. 9). - Light browning and occasional staining. Early typescript description affixed to half-title. Incomplete (wants end and solo part). Includes expert opinion by Professor Dr. Thomas Kohlhase (Cologne, 7. Oct. 2022). - 1) In the manuscript collection of Stefan Zweig until 1938, then sold by Heinrich Hinterberger, Vienna. 2) Louis Koch collection, Frankfurt/Main. 3) 1968: Dr. Friedrich Frauenberger collection, Munich. 4) Zisska & Kistner, sale 35 (2000), lot 419. 5) Last in a German private collection. - Hinterberger, cat.

Albumen print (vintage), 129 x 100 mm on backing cardboard (152 x 106 mm) with gilt imprint of the Müller & Pilgram studio in Leipzig. Gilt and bevelled edges. Fine head-and-shoulders portrait in quarter profile, within a white vignette, inscribed by Tchaikovsky to the French conductor and violinist Édouard Colonne (1838-1910),…thanking him warmly for having made his music successful in France: "A mon cher ami Edouard Colonne de la part d'un artiste fier de ses succès Parisiens qu'il n'a obtenus que grâce au chef éminent du célèbre orchestre du Chatelet". - Colonne's orchestra, the "Association Artistique des Concerts Colonne" situated at the Théâtre du Châtelet since 1875, famously performed the works of contemporary French composers (doing much to rehabilitate Berlioz in his native country), but also devoted itself to the works of foreign masters, notably Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. The orchestra would also invide great composers such as Mahler, Debussy, or Prokofiev to perform their works. Colonne had met Tchaikovsky as early as 1878 during the Russian composer's visit to Paris and gave the local premiere of his 4th Symphony. In return, from 1890 onwards Tchaikovsky mediated several 'exchange' concert trips for Colonne to Russia. - A few old pencil notes on the reverse; very finely preserved.

Oblong 4to. 19 pp. Original wrappers. First edition, inscribed "pour Madame René Auberjonois, en grande sympathie, Igor Strawinsky, Morges 17-IX-17". - The present volume constitutes an impressive document of Stravinsky's life during the October Revolution. A composition for his children, this work was penned in 1914/15, shortly… after leaving Russia forever and settling down into Swiss exile, all connections to his Russian homeland having been severed by the Great War. The events of the war also meant that Stravinsky was unable to solicit commissions, receive royalties, or even contact his publishers; his collaboration with Djaghilev had more or less ground to a halt, their tour having returned hardly any profit. It was at this time that Stravinsky had to rely upon the generosity of wealthy Swiss patrons such as Madame Auberjonois, who was the first wife of the post-Impressionist Swiss painter René Auberjonois, mother of author Fernand Auberjonois, and later grandmother of the American actor René Murat Auberjonois. Stravinsky had met René Auberjonois in the fall of 1917, during the planning stages of "Histoire du Soldat", and he later became an important acquaintance of Stravinsky's. The present copy must have been presented during the early years of their friendship.

Oblong 8vo (100 x 160 mm). 1 page. 3 bars on two staves of the solo piano part from the third movement of his "Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments", written in 1923/24 and revised in 1950. The concerto was to prove one of Stravinsky's most important works of the 1920s, by virtue of the fact that he played it almost everywher…e he went. It therefore became the one genuinely modern score of his that was widely known in that decade. The music is notated on staves drawn by Stravinsky on a blank sheet. For this purpose, the composer used "a certain instrument with little wheels invented by him for drawing the stave lines" (C. F. Ramuz, Souvenirs sur I. Stravinsky, 1946, p. 77). - Minor creasing and a few light marks.
