In very fine condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very scarce copy of these important works by Handel's student, assistant and copyist.  The first suite of his keyboard works was published in 1732 and was followed five years later by the present second suite.   According to Gwinlym Beechey (\"The Keyboard Suites of John Christopher Smith,\" Revue belge de Musicologie, 1970), these suites \"contain much spirited music and much variety of style.  It was natural for Smith to model himself on Handel and the set of suites that had been issued in 1720, but in spite of this it is possible to perceive something of Smith's own musical personality in these suites.\"  Beechey also notes that \"it was not customary for composers in England to issue their keyboard suites and lessons with title pages in French, but Smith in this volume and in his second volume is obviously following the title page of Handel's first book of Suites (1720).  Smith also gives each suite a French title in the course of both volumes, for example, 'Suite premiere pour le clavecin.'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese suites date from the period in which Smith, still very young, became directly involved with the production of Handel's operas.  According to Barbara Small (Grove Online), \"when Handel's health deteriorated in 1737 [the year of publication of these suites], it was Smith who played the harpsichord.\"","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093120864415,"sku":"1136","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Smith_Suites_Title.jpg?v=1722186056"},{"product_id":"1139-milhaud-darius-signed-portrait","title":"Milhaud, Darius.

He knows from long experience that there are no short cuts or infallible technical formulas on the road to success and that florid inspirational messages are of little value.  He provides, instead, the advice and kindly criticism of an elder statesman, and these he gives in the form of practical help on intonation, fingering, bowing, vibrato, tone coloration, choice of grip and strings, and use of distortion in tempo and rhythm.  He has undertaken detailed research into the liberties taken by editors with the violin scores of Bach, Beethoven, Corelli, Handel, Tartini, and others, and he not only lists misprints in their scores bt also prescribes means of determining what the composer wanted played and how best to play it.  Mr. Szigeti does not present ready-made solutions to problems that violinists meet in their commerce with the masterworks.  Rather, his book will stimulate both professional and amateur string-players to experiment, to develop musical discrimination, and to arrive at interpretations that will be in their own \"handwriting.\"","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093121257631,"sku":"1151","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Szigeti_On_the_VIolin_Book.jpg?v=1722186057"},{"product_id":"1145-elman-mischa-autograph-signature-on-program-portrait","title":"Elman, Mischa.
