First Edition Signed
hardcover. First edition. 4to. Inscribed by the author on the front endpaper, "To my friends Ann & Frank Conroy / as a souvenir of 6/20/99 / (signed) Jan Jaap Haspels." This book concentrates on the essentials that set tose instruments apart from all other mucial instruments. The technical ingredients are enumerated: the motive power, the trransmission systems, the speed-regulating devices and the musical programme. The music is discussed and a great number of historical musical programmes is transcribed from cylinders and discs into conventional staff notation. Relevant 17th - 19th-cenetury works by de Caus, Fludd, Practorius, Mersenne, Kircher, Schott, Werchmeister, Engramelle, Bedos and Bruder arer evaluated; their information, instructions, and conclusions on the manufacture and functioning of musical automata are compared with the conclusions resultingf from the study of a wide variety of still-extant contemporaneous automatophones. Bound in green cloth with gold lettering. 275 pages with summary (in Dutch), glossary, bibliography, index of names and institutions, photo credits and curriculum vitae. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
