About This Item
J. Fischer & Bro., 1925. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. A disquisition on the scientific and artistic tonal appointment and control of concert-room, church, and theater organs, according to the advanced system of compound tonal flexibility and expression with complete specifications." Audsley's last and unfinished book, with an appreciation by T. Scott Buhrman. (This appreciation includes a photograph of the unfinished manuscript -- and it must be said that Audsley's penmanship was extraordinary -- which concludes "These attribute sand relative tonal resources may be briefly outlined here, because it was their impartial consideration that led me, step by step," Buhrman asks `"What interrupted the most important and prophetic paragraph ever written about the organ?") At any rate: this is a near fine copy, back hinge cracked, but otherwise a clean tight unmarked copy, surprisingly fresh. We ship all books promptly, carefully, and securely in sturdy cartons, never in mailing bags.
