[Binder's Collection: S. L. Schieffelin]

Bound compilation of sheet music compiled by S. L. Schieffelin. As is the case with the other Schieffelin binder's collections, this volume emphasizes variations and derivative works based on other compositions, and particularly operas. Works in this volume are entirely from the 1830s, with many by Henri Herz, Carl Czerny, and Franz Hünten, and include material frequently sourced from Giacomo Meyerbeer, Gioachino Rossini, and Gaetano Donizetti. Most works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) and Anvers (better known as Antwerp) or Leipzig, and publishers Fils de B. Schott and C.F. Peters are the most prominent in this volume.
