Overture to the Caliph of Bagdad: Arranged for 4 Hands
New York: S.T. Gordon, 1861. 15, [1] p.: music; 34 cm. There is no date of publication given, but based on the street address used by the publisher (706 Broadway) it was probably 1861-1863. This contains a four-hand piano setting of the overture to Le Calife de Baghdade, or The Caliph of Bagdad, one of many operas by the French composer Francois Adrien Boieldieu. In Good- Condition: disbound; old repair of 18-cm. tear from fore-edge of first leaf (title page and first page of music); first leaf largely detached; fore-edges slightly chipped; lower corners of pp. 5-8 lacking, without effecting music; 5-cm. tear from fore-edge of pp. 5-6 without loss of music; light soiling and foxing. The composer's setting of his popular overture for four hands is very scarce. Good -. Item #000904
