Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the USA. A Merle Armitage Book Distributed by Duell, Sloan & Pearce. List of Works, Acknowledgments, Discography, Colophon; 245 pages. The original black cloth is in excellent shape, with sharp corners and the merest hint of rubbing to the edges; the striking yellow lettering on the spine and upper board is about as bright as when first issued. The interior's heavy-quality paper remains bright, crisp, and clean, with decorated endpapers; top-edge is colored red to match the red lettering and decoration on the electric-yellow dust jacket. [Please see multiple images of this book.] The unclipped dust jacket has several small spots on the sunned spine with a few tiny chips at the edges; all text remains clear. From Edwin Corle s Note to the Reader: "This book contains five of the critiques from the 1936 volume, as it seemed to Mr. Armitage and me that these five approaches [consistently sound, albeit technically different] should not be allowed to disappear into the limbo of the out-of-print. These are by Eugene Goossens, Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Henry Boys, and Boris de Schloezer, The article by Schloezer is a translation by Ezra Pound." In addition there are contributions by Sitwell, Nabokoff, Copeland, reproductions of contemporary painters: Picasso, Wells, Klee, Dyer; also portraits by Cowles, Chagall, Picasso, Napolitano, Weston, and others. "This present volume contains fifteen critiques ranging from the casual through the technical to the intimate and the personal. Posterity may one day call Stravinsky the world s greatest composer." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly---domestic sales sent with 'delivery confirmation' tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
