[Binder's Collection: Schieffelin, Book 1]

Bound compilation of sheet music with the surname Schieffelin attached. Nearly all works in this volume are derivative works by Henri Herz, with two by Jacques Herz. The titles are largely fantasies or variations on works by other composers (including four by Gaetano Donizetti), with a particular emphasis on operas. A majority of works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz), and some in Anvers (better known as Antwerp), Paris, Bonn, and New York. B. Schott or Fils de B. Schott published or co-published most titles, and works in this volume range in date from 1825 through 1855. The stamp of music seller C. Breusing on works throughout the volume provides insights on how the works were acquired.
