- Title:
- Conradin Kreutzer: Extract from an orchestral work featuring a theme from Rossini’s opera Tancredi
- Scope & Content:
-
Incomplete, comprises 22 bars on 2 pages, on either side of a single leaf, numbered ‘2’ at top right of recto. Autograph full score. Written in ink on systems of 12 staves. Not from the beginning of the work, so lacking title, tempo direction and key- and time-signatures, but headed, in another hand ‘No. 26. Handschrift v. Conradin Kreutzer’ (upper margin of recto). The Rossini theme, ‘Di tanti palpiti’ from Tancredi, is identified against its [first] appearance, on solo oboe, with ‘Thema aus Tancred’ (bar 6, recto). Scoring apparently for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, trumpets, timpani and strings.
Number from Hinterberger catalogue IX added in pencil at foot of recto.
This leaf is part of what appears to be an orchestral fantasia on the Rossini theme and to be unpublished in any form. Rossini’s Tancredi was first performed in Venice in February 1813 and was quickly taken up in other cities; it was performed in Darmstadt in 1816 and Stuttgart the following year, and was first given in Vienna in Italian in December 1816 and in German in March 1818. Kreutzer held posts in Stuttgart (1812-16), Donaueschingen (1818-22) and Vienna (from 1822).
