This wonderful guy was busking just by ours the other day he was very entertaining.
He knew 99.9 % of his notes, but when he hit one of the 0.1% he had the wonderful gift of raising one eyebrow, absolute hilarity. Well worth a quid!
Quarto, manuscript in sepia ink on laid paper, 48 pp plus endpapers, one of which is also the title page, also manuscript. Orchestral parts labeled on each page.
Orchestral parts of Beethoven's Overture (Op. 84) for an 1811 production of Goethe's 1787 play The Tragedy Of Egmont, revived during Napoleon's ongoing conquest of Europe.
On laid paper. The endpapers are watermarked JAN KOOL & COMP, which appears as early as 1809 but whose watermark appears on paper from around 1820 (Earliest I've found is 1816). The score is written on papers watermarked with a crowned fleur-de-lys under which is C & I HONIG, from a papermaker which operated under that name from about 1770 until going under in the 1850s.
Title page of the symphony orchestra score, with inkstamps "MUSIS SACRUM 1828" at the top and "A. LE LIÉVRE" top and bottom. The Musis Sacrum stamp appears on a few later pages.
Abraham Le Lievre (1799-1860) was a Leiden music teacher, known b his students as The Swearing Hare, a play on his last name, which is French for "hare." In 1828 he founded Musis Sacrum (Latin for "consecrated to the Muses"), a classical music appreciation society dedicated to promoting music among the bourgeoisie and that organized its own symphony and chamber orchestras. Musis Sacrum was active from 1828 until becoming dormant ten years after Le Lievre's death, after which it was revived from 1880 until about 1900. It is unrelated to the Arnhem symphony hall founded under the same name in the 1840s. (Wikipedia)
I do not know when Le Lievre acquired this manuscript, which appears to date to the 1820s. I have not found any other manuscripts online that belonged to his collection, nor much of anything else about the organization.
Ephesus is justly famed as one of the finest ancient Roman sites anywhere. The ruins of the city are extensive with many impressive monuments to amaze the visitor (that have often been partially reassembled to give an indication of their former glory and context).
Unfortunately the fame and popularity of the site means that, unlike most of the classical sites we visited elsewhere, it is constantly crowded with tourists. However the city has always attracted visitors, and among those who spent time here centuries ago were St Paul and St John (and possibly Mary herself if one believes in the authenticity of her nearby residence).

The Library of Celsus is Ephesus's best known landmark, owing to the remarkable preservation of it's facade which, having collapsed at some point in the Middle Ages was meticulously pieced back together and re-erected in the late1970s (with a concealed stell frame to protect against further earthquake damage).

Just a few of the 120,000 plus audience in Christchurch's Hagley Park attending the ASB Classical Sparks in the Park.
Two years ago I was so desperate and told her I can read inside her mind using IR. Confidently she said “Nice try.” From her tweets I knew she’s far away in Zurich now.

This table combines French and English features to form a highly successful American type. The carved and pierced griffin panel ornament, which is more commonly found rendered in paint on fancy chairs from Philadelphia and Baltimore, is based closely upon Thomas Sheraton’s “Ornament for a Frieze or Tablet,” published and dated October 1791 in “The Cabinet Maker’s and Upholsterer’s Drawing-Book.” Illustrations from this pattern book also appear on Barry’s elaborate trade label, which is affixed to the underside of the top.

The new Melbourne Synagogue at 2 Toorak Road, South Yarra, seating 1300 people, was completed in 1930. Often described as the Cathedral Synagogue, it was designed by Nahum Barnet. Built in the Interwar period in the Academic Classical style.
Made to a conservative Palladian design with a Corinthian portico, copper-clad dome and a fairly featureless pediment.
