[Binder's Collection: Schieffelin, Book 2]

Bound compilation of sheet music with the surname Schieffelin attached. The collection was bound in Yonkers, New York, which strongly suggests a location for the owner, and digitized historical newspapers and genealogical records do show a prominent Schieffelin family in that city. Three quarters of the titles in the volume are variations, of which five were composed from various sources by Henri Herz. The collection includes a variety of publishers and locations in Europe and the United States. Where dates can be determined, they range from 1821 through the 1840s.

[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.
