M. A. Zani de Ferranti: Souvenirs Populaires

The Souvenirs Populaires were published by M. A. Zani de Ferranti possibly in the 1830s as an effort to improve his finances with music for amateurs. All eight known volumes are presented in this edition. Notes in the editions show that Zani de Ferranti intended to publish more volumes but none have been found. The music is indeed much simpler than most of his compositions and represents possibly his only effort to cater to amateurs. All eight volumes are presented in a facsimile of the original publication. - M. A. Zani de Ferranti - The Souvenirs Populaires - Liv. 1. Freischütz (de Weber) - Liv. 2.
