Saul : Oratorium
This is ca. 1820 vocal score of Handel's oratorio Saul. The orchestra reduction for piano is credited to J.F. [Johann Friedrich] Naue. The hand-written date 1738 that appears at the top of the t.p. underneath Saul corresponds to the year when Handel composed the oratorio. The music parts for the soloists (soprano alto tenor, bass) and the chorus appear at the top of the piano reduction staff.

[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.

[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.

[Binder's Collection: Columbus Public Library, Scores]
Bound compilation of sheet music for violin and piano, assembled by the Columbus Public Library (now the Columbus Metropolitan Library). This volume consists of scores and piano parts, although its contents do not overlap entirely with those of the accompanying set of violin parts. The library catalog record follows the handwritten numbering in the volume, which generally assigns numbers to titles held in common between the two volumes. Therefore, some works are described by their position relative to numbered items, such as a set of three between numbered selections 23 and 24. The volume itself heavily emphasizes "potpourris" and other arrangements of larger works, such as those by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini. Charles Auguste de Bériot is prominent in this volume as both a composer and arranger. About half of the works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) or Offenbach (surmised from other evidence in some cases), with Fils de B. Schott as the most prominent publisher.
