Halberstadt: bei C. Brüggemann [PN 20], 1829. Oblong folio. Half dark green cloth with dark green textured paper boards, original light green publisher's wrappers bound in with titling within decorative border. 1f. (recto title, verso blank), 1f. (recto dedication, verso blank), [i] (blank), 2-165, [i] (blank) pp. Text in German. With publisher's catalogue to verso of lower wrapper ("Musik-Verlag von C. Brüggemann Ostern 1829"). Title and dedication lithographed, music engraved.
Brief contemporary annotation in ink to front free endpaper; occasional annotations in pencil including "Soli," "Chor," and "Segue." Nineteen measures canceled in orange pencil (pp. 96-97), most likely a performance cut.
Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped; endpapers browned. Margins browned; moderate foxing throughout; very small tear to blank outer margin of p. 2 repaired with archival tape. First Edition. MGG I, 11, 1902. OCLC 742557095, 873481700, 916097718, and 1063474035.
Das Verlorne Paradies, composed in 1824, was first performed in Magdeburg at the Elbe-Verein Music Festival in 1825.
Schneider was a composer, conductor and teacher; his pupils included Robert Franz. "His performance of Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto in Leipzig on 28 November 1811 is believed to have been the work's première (see AMZ, xiv, 1812, col. 8)." Franz Gehring, E.M. Oakeley, and Michael Musgrave in Grove Music Online
"The highpoint of his wide-ranging compositional activity while at Leipzig came with his oratorio Das Weltgericht, first performed on 6 March 1820 at the Gewandhaus and widely performed thereafter. This work has been seen as an important bridge in a period of stagnation between the oratorios of Haydn and Mendelssohn, and his creative achievements were respected by Schumann. His music is essentially lyrical and contemplative in character." ibid.
