First edition. Fine in stiff pictorial wrappers. Catalogue in conjunction with the Aug. 30- Oct. 16, 2011 exhibition of the same name exhibited at the William Benton Museum of Art. From the author's Foreword: "The prints in this exhibition are from a collection that has been formed over the last forty years. Having developed an abiding interest in both music and prints during my college years, it was natural, I suppose, that I would become attracted to musical prints, since they combine a subject-matter and a medium both of which I find extraordinarily interesting. I bought my first musical print around 1970-the portrait of Beethoven that is in this exhibition. It was sitting in the window of a second-hand bookshop in Boston, in the days when one could spend a lunch hour browsing in any one of a dozen such shops there. For many years I collected only portraits, and that remains my major interest, but in recent years, I have also been buying prints of other musical subjects that I find attractive. Portraits still make up more than three-quarters of the collection, and of this exhibit.".
