Padzirek's Universal Handbook

...aller Zeiten und Völker. Als Nachschlagewerk und Studienquelle der Welt-Musikliteratur eingerichtet und herausgegeben von Franz Padzírek.

Inhalt: Die gesamte, durch Musikalienhandlungen noch beziehbare Musikliteratur aller Völker

Two different front covers from Pazdirek - one with curly decoration, the other more formal and lacking decorative edges.

+++++++

The numbering of the individual volumes is most inconsistent, and the information printed on the title pages should be treated with extreme caution, both as to the number of the volume and its actual contents. See Imslp Padzirek for an attempt to make sense of the following lists.

The first six issues are not numbered, but lettered.

The next four issues (7-10) were published by Universal-Edition, but they were mis-numbered as Vols. VIII to XI (instead of Vols. VII to X) ; to correct this error, a short second 'real' Vol. XI was published by Pazdirek.

The seventh volume has Volume VIII (E–Fitzenhagen) on the title page, which seems to be a misprint for Volume VII: it is bound together with (Fitzenhagen-Fz) and (G- Gattermann) - presumably mis-numbered Volumes VIII and IX although the last two have no title page.

The series continues with Volume X (Gattermann–-Gouvy) and Vol. XI (Gouvy-Hall); the next volume is also numbered Volume XI, (H - Hall, R.B), as if to make up for the missing Volume VII

The twelfth volume is correctly titled Volume XII (Hall - Hervé); and continues with Volume XIII (Hervé-Hyspa). The rest of the issues are conventionally numbered,

(handwritten on inside front cover, June 13, 1907)
 * Volume A (A–Az) 				Vol. I (Pazdírek & Co. (Vienna), Augener & Co. (London), Theo Presser (Philadelphia)
 * Vol. B (B–Bellenghi) 		Vol. II (later style Pazdirek cover, in French)
 * Vol. B (Bellenghi–Boieldieu) 	Vol. III
 * Vol. B (Boieldieu–Bywater)	Vol. IV
 * Vol. C (C–Cz)			Vol. V On title page: Vol. C (C–Cz) (In English, later Pazdirek style)
 * Vol. D (D–Dz)			Vol. VI On title page: Vol. D. (published by Universal Edition, decorated older Pazdirek style)
 * Volume VIII (E–Fitzenhagen), (Fitzenhagen-Fz) and (G- Gattermann)

Well... This is a German one - (Actually published by Universal Edition (No, 1758) and with 1906/7 catalogue at the end.) Hmmm    (E–Fitzenhagen) poss. actually vol VII takes you up to p. 384, but bound volume  (with no title page) continues F with (Fitzenhagen-Fz?) actually Volume VIII  to p. 616: it is bound with (G- Gattermann), likely Volume IX although there is no title page in this scan. (date handwritten on front cover (WHICH?): 15/10/07)


 * On title page: Vol X Gattermann–-Gouvy (pp 1-472) (assumed) Vol. XI. Gouvy-Gyuler (473-700) - no title page- and another Volume XI by Pazdirek (H - Hall, R.B) (1-112) complete with title page [pdf 607 of 742 - PLUS explanation in German of  the system used to indicate the original publisher of a particular edition (Ausgabe or Bearbeitung)), and publishers of reprints the same edition in other countries. (pdf 737 of 742) (On inside front cover: hand-written Jan. 28, 1908)

Lol, From at least Vol. X (also in Vol. XVIII) Padzírek & Co. started its own dedicated imprint, "Universal-Handbuch der Musikliteratur" In ca. 18 Bänden.

On the covers it says Volume X (Gattermann-Gouvy) - bound (including title page) with Vol XI (Gouvy-Hall), but then they realised their mistake and make another vol XI, (H- Hall)


 * Vol. XII (Hall - Hervé) (pp 1-448) and XIII (Hervé-Hyspa) (pp 449-779)
 * Vol. XIV (I & J) (pp 1-208)  Vol. XV (K-Kuhe) (pp 1 - 480)

 * On cover: Vol XXVI (Rossi L. - Schaffer)  Actually  (Rossi-Ryszczewski) (pp 545-714) actually Volume XXVII (S-Schwalm)   (1-160) Next signature "Universal-Handbuch der Musikliteratur. S. 11 Schaffer-Schwalm (pp. 161-512)
 * On cover: Vol XXVIII Schwalm-Specht  (pp. 513-864)  actually Vol. XXIX  (Specht-Swain G.) (pp. 865-1216)

French version:

Each bound volume contains a number of individual issues (livraisons). Only the first part retains its the title page - the others are continuously bound up, minus their title pages and list of publishers.
