Paperback. Small. Stiff French-style wrappers. xii, 160pp. Illustrations, line drawings. Very good. Probable sole edition, tight and nice, of these essays by the American pianist and teacher (1851-1940). Smith boldly signs a front free endpaper in purple ink, adding the curious inscription: "Flee standardized concert / playing -- There is little else," and a postscript, "Nine muses inform modern / music." At top is the ownership signature of Chicago pianist John G. Leiser, dated 15 August 1926. Laid in is the front portion of the original envelope, addressed by Smith and signed at upper left. Uncommon.
