Piano Music
A collection of songs, handwritten, c. 1820s-60s. 4to, half leather; pp. 184.
60 mid-19th century songs arranged for piano and voice. The songs are representative of 19th century ballads and airs, with a touch of wanderlust and an idealised picture of the rural travelling life. The songs appear to be the work of various composers of the time, including John Braham (All's Well), F. Stockhausen (Twere Vain to Tell Thee All I Feel), and Alexander Lee (Come Dwell With Me), though many have no composers details.
Not Sold

 

. Binding a little rubbed and scuffed, a little marked and dusty inside, p. 169-70 loose but present, very good.
