AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An antique orchestral score titled "1re Mosaïque sur Mozart" by E. Tavan, published by Margueritat, 21 Boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle in Paris. This booklet comes from the collection "Répertoire d’Orchestre pour Cafés-Concerts, Casinos et Sociétés Symphoniques," as indicated at the top of the cover. The title page features classic typography, subtle graphic ornaments on the edges, and an illustrated medallion in the upper left corner. The previous owner's name, "G. Dravet," is visible in the upper left.

The score is distinguished by its careful presentation and slightly yellowed paper, typical of old musical editions. The main title is centered and legible: "1re Mosaïque sur Mozart," accompanied by the author "E. Tavan" below. Several price indications are present for different orchestra or solo instrument arrangements, which attests to its professional or semi-professional use at the time of its publication.

References to other works by the same author appear at the bottom of the page, mentioning other mosaics on famous composers (Weber, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rossini). The stylized logo of the publisher Margueritat is printed at the bottom of the page, reinforcing the authenticity of this Parisian edition.

The cover shows some visible stains and signs of age on the lower left edge, as well as slight creases and wear at the corners, signs of a used item that has endured decades. No decor or colorful illustrations are visible on this side; the overall look remains sober and dedicated to musical information.

The booklet is presented open, placed in front of a wooden library background, which highlights its retro appearance and authenticity. The paper appears flexible, with a slight curve on the upper right corner. No other instruments or accessories are visible in the image.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of stains, signs of wear, and slightly folded corners. The visible side remains legible and complete.

Did you know? The Margueritat publishing house, active in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, published many scores for café-concert orchestras and musical societies, reflecting the vitality of the popular and semi-professional music scene in France at that time.
