HINDEMITH, PAUL. (1895-1963). German composer and one of the outstanding figures in 20th-century music theory and composition. AMusQS. ("Paul Hindemith"). 1p. 8vo. Maehrisch-Ostrau, November, 1931. A three-measure quotation from the solo viola's entrance in the first movement of his Konzertmusik for Viola and Large Chamber Orchestra, Op. 48 inscribed in German "in friendly remembrance."

Hindemith performed frequently as a violist and violinist, but by the mid-1920s he was well-known in the Frankfurt music scene for his compositional skills, well on his way to becoming the leading composer-performer of his generation. Rejecting Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone system, Hindemith created his own harmonic theory, which employed the principles of traditional tonality. His masterworks include Kammermusik, Symphonic Metamorphoses on a Theme by Weber, Sinfonia Serena, and Die Harmonie der Welt. Composed in 1930, Hindemith's Konzertmusik, dedicated to French composer Darius Milhaud and his wife, was performed on November 6, 1931 in the Czech city of Ostrau, the occasion on which he penned our quotation.

Called "the foremost German composer of his generation," Hindemith promoted his musical theories through various academic posts as well as his compositions, (The New Grove Dictionary). After the Nazis banned his opera Mathis der Maler in the early 1930s, Hindemith left his post as professor of composition at the Berlin Academy of Music and taught at several other European universities. Politics and financial difficulties eventually led him to Yale where he taught from 1940 to 1953.

Neatly penned in black ink on an album page. with some age toning and light staining. Irregular left edge caused by the page being removed from an album. Very slight ink offsetting around the quotation; otherwise in fine condition. Accompanied by a reproduction of the program in Ostrau where this piece was performed.

Description:
British airship commander, the first to use a British airship on patrol in World War One and the first to make a transatlantic airship flight in 1919. ALS, 2pp (single leaf), 4½" X 7½", Cardington, England, 1930 February 25. Addressed to the librarian of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Near fine. Single original mailing fold. Blind-embossed crest. Boldly penned in blue fountain pen from the "Royal Airship Works," Scott transmits "the 'Royal Aeronautical Society' Journal, of November 1929 [not present], which include a copy of the lecture I gave before the Society, on the subject of 'Handling & Mooring of Airships'...." Handsomely signed in full. Scott was killed eight months later in the spectacular crash of the airship R 101 in northern France -- which signaled the end of Britain's interest in dirigibles. Extremely scarce in this form, especially with dirigible content.

Description:
When France's King Henry II died in 1559 and his sickly 15-year-old heir Francis II followed the next year, the throne went to 10-year-old Charles Maximilian, who became Charles IX; his mother, Catherine de' Medici, dominated his reign, which is noted for the Wars of Religion and for the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. Partial vellum DS, 1p, 11" X 8", n.p., n.y. [September 1570 lightly pencilled in another hand]. Very good. Folds and mild bit of wear evident, but overall handsome and boldly penned. Though penned in difficult early French (which is to modern French what Elizabethan English is to modern English) and not accompanied by a translation, this is a probate approval legal document. Below six lines of finely penned legalese, Charles signs at left with his usual enormous signature in a different and somewhat lighter ink. Below this appears another sentence in a large flamboyant hand (which appears to refer to Provence) and huge ornate signature of an official. This atmospheric… Read More

Description:
Small Octavo. Latin manuscript is written in poetic style by C.P.F. Kurrer who was a distinguished member of the famed Latin Society of Jena. 89p. OCLC notes that a 16-page edition was published in Tubingen by Fues in 1786. This much larger version of several thousand lines is entirely handwritten in Latin poetic style. As William Clark as noted in his Charismata and the Origin of Research Universities, p. 158ff., "The Latin Society of Jena (founded 1733) ..required members to submit written dissertations exhibiting eloquence and erudition." This was, of course, in contrast to the universities which like their English counterparts were still under the domain of the Aristotelian dominance through the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern period. These highly literate societies which existed outside the university system of rote memory became (as Clark noted) the predecessor of the modern university system with seminars and original research. The Societas Latina Jenensis according to the Scholarly… Read More

He worked as an astronomer at Breslau University, where he studied binary stars, and at the German Maritime Observatory. He also wrote newspaper columns and was responsible… Read More

The Crozier Building was designed by Frank Miles Day & Brother and was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1980. American merchant John Wanamaker (1838-1922) had made $1.5 million in profits and interest from his stores in Philadelphia and New York in 1904, suggesting that his acquisition of the Crozier Building was an investment. The Crozier Building has continued to function as a successful office building to this day.
