About This Item
Roma, Milano: Tumminelli & C., 1936. Assumed First Edition . Soft cover. Fair/Poor. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [TEXT IN ITALIAN] This is the outstanding "Pianoforte" volume (Volume I, dedicated to Alfred Cortot), from the Collezione Musicale "Melos" - a series of musical manuals directed by Guido M. Gatti and Paola Ojetti. CONTENTS: To the Reader; Dedication: Carissimo Fred; History of the Piano; The Construction of the Piano; The Aesthetic of the Piano; The Great Pianists of History; How to Play the Piano; How to Teach the Piano; Transcription for Piano; Piano with Orchestra; The Piano in Chamber Music; Index; Table of Contents. 246 pages, with photos, illustrations, and score excerpts. CONDITION: A worn but *unmarked* copy with considerable shelf-wear, its page-block reattached to the covers with archival tape. The pages are noticeably age-tanned in the margins and are brittle along the edges (some small corner pieces absent). This fragile item must be handled carefully to avoid further deterioration. To that end, I have fashioned a new replacement dustjacket, affixing the original incomplete jacket panels and enclosing it all in a clear mylar protective cover. [NOTE: See accompanying scan images.] This is certainly a "tattered treasure" - but a treasure nonetheless.
