Rolland, Romain. (1866 - 1944) [Adler, Guido. (1855 - 1941)]. Musiciens d'Autrefois [Musicians of the Past] - INSCRIBED PRESENTATION COPY TO GUIDO ADLER. Paris: Libraire Hachette. 1924. Ninth Edition. 8vo. 306 pp. Inscribed in ink on the half title "A Mr. le Prof. D. Guido Adler / en confraternel hommage / et cordial souvenir / Romain Rolland / Villeneuve, 8 Nov.bre 1926." Original wrappers bound in to half green cloth, pale green boards somewhat stained and sunned, a couple small tears to page margins, wrapper and half title stained and reinforced with paper along the gutter, several library stamps and stickers (see description below) otherwise in very good condition.
An important association copy of this collection of articles and essays on music, inscribed by the author to the father of modern musicology, Guido Adler. This volume confiscated by the Nazis and recently restored to his heirs from the library of the University of Vienna.
Rolland was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915 "as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings."
Guido Adler is regarded as the father of modern musicology. He was the founder of the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar of the University of Vienna, regarded as the prototype of musical research centres worldwide. He was a friend of many composers, including Brahms, Bruckner, Bartók and Mahler, who presented him with the autograph manuscript of the song “Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen”. After the Anschluss and during the last illness of the musicologist, the great library which he formed became a bargaining chip for the survival of Adler and his daughter Melanie. She imagined that they might be able to leave Vienna if the collection were given or sold to a library. The bargaining failed. Adler died, the library and his manuscripts were confiscated and Melanie transported and shot in 1942. This and the other books were catalogued by the library later in that year. Some parts of the library were found after the war and restored to the family and are now in the University of Georgia. The present volume was more recently discovered in the Music Library of the University of Vienna, marked with the stamp and inventory number of the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, having been stolen by the organisation Adler had founded.
