[Bound set of piano music], 1786-1802.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/707940133

One of the few items of music in the Edgeworth family library, a third of which is now held at UCLA. This vol. is comprised of piano music or parts (all engraved and all [but one] published in London) gathered together by its original owner, Henrica Broadhurst, whose maiden name can be found in gilt on the red leather onlay in the center of the binding's cover and whose married name ("Mrs. C[harles] Sneyd Edgeworth" [wife of the 5th child of Richard Edgeworth's 3rd wife) is inked at the top of the free endleaf. (Another pencilled note is given below this name: "Lent to Lucy J[ane] Edgeworth [the 4th child of Richard's 4th wife], Aug. 1828"). Some of the pieces in the vol. are for piano solo, while the titles of some of the others indicate that there are also parts for other instruments, either as full partner in the accompaniments or "ad libitum" or "obligés". No other parts have been bound into this vol. and none of the missing parts have been found in UCLA's Edgeworth holdings. However, some pencilled music notation found over the piano part in the 1st sonata of the Kozeluch--presumably one of the obbligato lines--provides an indication that the parts had originally been owned by Henrica. (Please note that page nos. in the contents note for this record are for the piano parts only.)
