About This Item
Edinburgh: T. N. Foulis 1913. (Hardcover) 263pp. Very good, no dust jacket. Blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and cover. Photographic plates. The front hinge is cracked and there is a previous owner's name in ink on the front endpapers. "This is a companion volume to the writer's Master Musicians, published in 1909. Like that work, it concerns itself rather with the musicians themselves than with their compositions or their achievements. It does not profess to be technical: indeed, it explicitly avoids the technical, though there is a perhaps excusable suggestion of the technical in the opening chapters" -from the Preface. Companion volume to the Master Musicians. (Music, Music Appreciation, Musicians).
