(1770–1827)] Scarce Ivory Pass to FIRST QUARTET CYCLE PERFORMANCE!","description":"Extremely rare and important ivory ticket pass to the London Beethoven Quartett Society where the monumental String Quartets were first performed as a cycle.  Handpainted on ivory, each pass reads \"Honor to Beethoven,\" the chair number, and \"Quartett Society.\"  The pass has been elegantly matted and framed together with an impressive portrait of Beethoven. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded by London musician and impressario, Thomas Massa Alsager, the Society was first  a private place for musicians to rehearse and study the quartets. In 1845 Alsager  invited the public to hear a performance of all 16 quartets and this pass dates from this historic event, the first performance anywhere in the world of a complete cycle of Beethoven quartets, held in the Beethoven Room at 76 Hartlet Street in 5 sessions.  According to Mahaim, \"Forty-three years were to lapse before a similar venture took place in 1888-89 in Dresden with a complete cycle organized by Eduard Rappoldi. And sixty years were to pass before the cycle was presented by the Joachim Quartet in Bonn in 1903 at the end of Joachim's career.\"  Indeed, during this period, the late quartets were still scarcely heard in Germany, where they were still dismissed as \"the work of a madman,\" and it was Alsager who brought the late quartets in particular fully into the public eye.  The musicians he engaged for the Quartett Cycle, were of the highest level, and included Paganini's sole pupil, Camillo Sivori.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One can get a sense of the minute care and devotion with which the performance of these quartets were prepared in the attention lavished upon the pro- grams of these historic concerts. At the beginning of each concert program was printed the motto of the Beethoven Quartett Society: Honor to Beethoven . Each work was then provided with a  detailed commentary by Henry Hill, with a reproduction of the first full measures of each movement to guide the listener. Several lines about the circumstances surrounding the piece served as an introduction, an invitation to celebrate Beethoven's genius. ... Special pocket scores were published by the Beethoven Society so that listeners might follow the music in print-another innovation pioneered by the society...The conclusion of the world premiere of the entire cycle of Beethoven quartets was marked by an expression of the Beethoven Quartett Society's touching piety: \"Our task is ended. Let the echoes of the world be raised with one sound and that HONOR TO BEETHOVEN\" (The First Complete Beethoven Quartet Cycles, 1845-1851: Historical Notes on the London Quartett Society ; Ivan Mahaim; Evi Levin; The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 80, No. 3.

(1881-1931) Rare Crucifix Worn in the Film  \"The Dumb Girl of Portici.\"","description":"A remarkable coloured glass crucific and chain worn by the legendary ballerina in her performance as Fenella in the 1916 film of  Auber's \"La Muette de Portici.\"  Sold together with a xerox black and white film still of Pavlova wearing the crucifix.  This remarkable relic comes to us via the daughter of Linda Lindovska, one of the Pavlova Company's corps dancers who performed in the film. Apparently the original crucifix that was to be used by Pavlova in the production did not properly show up on the black and white film. This larger, bolder necklace was loaned by the other dancer for the duration of the filming and then returned to her by Pavlova.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1916, Lois Weber  - \"the greatest woman director\" (Moving Picture Stories) - directed her 90 minute silent film version of  \"The Dumb Girl of Portici.\"  The film cost Universal Studios $250,000, which was the most expensive film ever made up to that time.  A full $50,000 of that  ($500\/hour) - an astronomical sum at the time - went to the star, Anna Pavlova, who apparently agreed to the film project in order to help support her touring production of the Auber opera with the Boston Grand Opera.  Astonishingly however, the film includes virtually no dancing whatsoever! An interesting side note is that the film includes the screen debut of the very young Boris Karloff , who can be seen as an extra!","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093153239199,"sku":"2157","price":499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Pavlova_Crucifix334.jpg?v=1722186260"},{"product_id":"2283-gluck-cristoph-willibald-1714-1787-fine-1818-medal","title":"Gluck, Cristoph Willibald.
