| Description |
Later paper boards. Some light foxing otherwise a very nice copy with an engraved frontispiece portrait of Gellert by I.C. Müller. Typeset music plus index. Schmidlin’s songs, cantatas and odes were sung both in private homes and institutions for many decades in Switzerland. He made "an important contribution to the solo song, particularly in the patriotic Schweizerlieder of 1769; these songs with figured bass show influences of the Berlin Lied school in their conscious striving for simplicity" (NG2). |
