[Music - KASTNER (Georges). Les Sirènes, essai sur les principaux mythes relatifs à l'incantation des enchanteurs, la musique magique, le chant du cygne etc... considérés dans leurs rapports avec l'histoire, la philosophie, la littérature et les beaux-arts. Decorated with numerous figures depicting mythological subjects drawn from ancient and modern monuments, followed by Le Rêve d'Oswald ou les Sirènes, grande symphonie dramatique vocale et instrumentale by Georges KASTNER. Paris, Brandus et Dufour, Renouard et Cie, 1858. In-4, bradel brown cloth, red title page on spine. First edition. 12 hors texte plates of mermaid performances and 207 pp. of orchestral score for "Le rêve d'Oswald". Small marginal tear to 2 text leaves, margins of some plates slightly faded. A good copy of this rare work. This is the last "livre-partition" by Alsatian composer and theorist Jean Georges Kastner (1810-1867), following the same model as his previous works ("La Danse des morts" (1852), "La Harpe d'Éole et la musique cosmique" (1856) and "Les Voies de Paris" (1857)): a scholarly treatise followed by an original musical composition. After reviewing the traditions relating to these mythical creatures, the work concludes by evoking music, the magical song of mermaids and swans, auroral and solar sounds and cosmic harmonies, thus drawing inspiration from the ancients' esoteric ideas on music. The symphonic poem that follows the text was conceived for a very modern orchestra capable of recreating these mysterious sounds.
