This is a digital copy of the ca. 1830 edition of Henri Herz's Brilliant variations for the piano forte on the cavatina "Aurora che sorcerai" from Rossini's two-act melodrama "La donna del lago," (i.e., The lady of the lake). The library's copy is part of a bound collection of piano music by variopus nineteenth-century composers. The pianist, and Herz's friend, Franz Hünten adapted several passages of the music to suit the range of the contemporaneous piano fortes. A note on the t.p. indicates that "Mrs. [Lucy] Anderson had the distinguished honor of performing this piece before their Majesties at Brighton." Plate no. 476.

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.
