Quarto. Original printed wrappers with decorative device to head of upper. 1f. (title), 3-64 pp. Bookseller's handstamp to upper wrapper and title. Wrappers torn and nearly detached. Quite browned. Later edition. Hunyadi László, set to a libretto by Béni Egressy after LĹ rinc Tóth's play, was first performed in Pest at the National Theatre on January 27, 1844. "Erkel, who conducted many French and still more Italian operas (especially those of Bellini and Donizetti), was of course influenced by them; he also had the greatest respect for Mozart and Beethoven. Hunyadi László includes numbers that clearly show Italian influence. More important, while some of the roles are mere types, several are well-characterized figures who are often differentiated by the use of motifs (among other devices). Erkel had considerable skill as dramatist and was able to employ a symphonic technique to achieve an organic unity. There is also a strikingly large amount of recitative, all of it accompanied; the motifs, used in both the lyrical music and the recitative to characterize situations, individuals and states of mind, to a large extent assure the dramatic coherence of Hunyadi László." DezsĹ Legány in Grove Dictionary of Opera.

KLEINECKE, Rudolf 1861-1940, arr. (illustratore). Folio. Stapled. Decorative title with illustration of a World War I soldier printed in dark green. 2-18 pp. Text in Hungarian. Contains 4 numbers from the opera. Title slightly worn and soiled; handstamp of publisher with date of January 6, 1919 and price stamps to title. Erkel's Névtelen hĹ sök (Unknown Heroes), written in collaboration with his sons to a libretto by Ede Tóth, premiered in Budapest at the National Theatre on November 30, 1880. The opera's war theme led to a short revival in 1916. "The plot looks back to the time of the Hungarian war of independence of 1848-9 and is set in a peaceful small village and a Hungarian soldiers' camp. In both vocal and instrumental writing the work represents a culmination of the integration of folklike music into an operatic framework, an achievement foreshadowed to a small degree in Erkel's music for song-plays of 1844-6 and in many parts of Hunyadi László and Bánk bán. It also includes a truly comic figure, a fine duet for the two leading characters, an accomplished verbunkos piece, and a Takarodó ('Retreat') for chorus which rapidly became known throughout Hungary." DezsĹ Legány in Grove Dictionary of Opera.

Folio. [1] (title), 2-7, [1] (blank) pp. Engraved. Slightly worn and soiled; trimmed. First Edition. Mona 1577. Rare (no copies located outside Hungary). Erkel's Bánk Bán, set to a libretto by Béni Egressy after the play by József Katona, was first performed in Pest at the National Theater on March 9, 1861. It remains one of the most popular and successful Hungarian operas. Arranger, composer and violinist Ellenbogen studied at the Vienna Conservatory and then returned to his home town of Miskolc where he organized and led the theater orchestra. He soon left to join the theater orchestra in Pest, where he also conducted the ballet. As a composer, Ellenbogen specialized in dances and fantasias on popular themes. In 1851, he founded the Magyar ZeneszerzĹ -társulatot (Hungarian Composers Association).

Folio. Disbound. [1] (decorative title by Lorber), 2-9, [1] (blank) pp. Engraved. Publisher's handstamp to foot of title. Trimmed; scattered light soiling and foxing. First Edition of this version. Mona 1459. Ferenc II. Rákóczi (1676-1735) was a Hungarian prince who led a rebellion against the Hapsburgs in the early 18th century. Although the uprising was unsuccessful, Rákóczi became a national hero and a number of songs were written in his honor, with this march becoming the most popular. A version of the theme was frequently performed by Romani violinist János Bihari (1764-1827) and became closely associated with Hungarian identity during the growing nationalist movement. The Austrian leaders in Vienna were anxious about a potential uprising and restricted the Rákóczy along with many other patriotic symbols. Many versions and arrangements of the march exist, including those by Liszt and Berlioz.

Folio. Original full light green cloth with titling gilt to upper and spine. 5ff. (titles, foreword, cast list, contents), 3-215, [1] (colophon) pp. With appendix ([24] pp; musical variants by Kenessey) laid in. Parallel texts in Hungarian and German. Binding slightly worn and bumped. Slightly browned. First Edition of the 1939 revised version. Bánk Bán, to a libretto by Béni Egressy after the play by József Katona, was first performed in Pest at the National Theater on March 9, 1861. The music was completely revised in 1939 by conductor and composer Nándor Rékai (1870-1943), incorporating a new libretto by Kálmán Nádasdy and Gusztáv Oláh. Further refinements were made in 1953 by JenĹ Kenessey, who made the piano reduction; this is the only version that is recorded and widely performed. "With its strongly national theme, its critical timing in relation to political events, and its readiness to draw on the world of folk melody and the formal principles of the Hungarian verbunkos, Bánk bán represents an important stage in the development of Hungarian opera. It is widely regarded as the most significant Hungarian opera of its time, for although not as widely popular in Hungary as Hunyadi László, it shows a broader command of dramatic characterization and greater skill in accommodating a national idiom. As the fruit of many years of idiomatic development, Bánk bán represents a high point in Erkel's output; his development thereafter took different directions and he never again succeeded in writing with such naturalness and vitality." DezsĹ Legány in Grove Dictionary of Opera.
