Music: Rare Scores

Beethoven: Symphony No. 5

         

Beethoven, Ludwig van. 1830. Cinquième symphonie à grand orchestre. Leipzig: Chez Breitkopf & Härtel. 

Call no. : U 784.2184 B41 s9 no.5 B8               

“Modern blue half cloth with marbled boards, original dark yellow printed wrappers bound in. 1f. (title), 182 pp. Engraved. First Edition, later issue, printed from the original plates, but with a new engraved title and the addition of the printed note to p. 108. The printed note on p. 108 refers to volume 48 of Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (1846); the note in German strikingly contrasts to the title page in French, testifying to the emerging status of the German language as a musical lingua franca of the later nineteenth century.”
