Symphony No. 1 in C Op. 21 l
Language: English
Published by Penguin Books, Hammondsworth, Middlesex, 1950
Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. 102 Pages. A used book showing some wear but reasonably tight, complete, and free of marks. Biographical note by W. McNaught. Introduction by Gordon Jacob. The date of completion of this symphony is not known, as the original manuscript has been lost. It was first performed on 2 April, 1800, at Vienna. From what we know of Beethoven's method of working it can be guessed that the symphony had been on the stocks for some time. In fact, recognizable sketches for it are found among papers dated 1795. In 1800 the composer was thirty years of age, and the only other orchestral works he had written were two piano concertos, in C, op. 15, and in B flat, op. 19. His output had otherwise consisted entirely of chamber music and pianoforte sonatas. In spite of this, his handling of the orchestra shows no signs of uncertainty and is thoroughly expert and effective.

Lou Gehrig: The Lost Memoir
Seller: Mike's Baseball Books, Chula Vista, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. In an effort to grow Lou Gehrig's star (today we would call it His Brand), pioneering sports agent Christy Walsh arranged for Lou's tale of baseball greatness to syndicate in newspapers across the country. Until now, those columns were largely forgotten and lost to history. Here you have those accounts followed by an insight biographical essay by historian Alan Graf. Both the non price clipped Dust Jacket and the book are in very good condition. I have around 215 baseball biographies and more than 90 books on Yankee players and teams in stock. Discounts are available when you purchase multiple items on the same order.
