About This Item
Lawrence & Wishart, London - reprint edition 1951 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾" - lacks jacket Stained covers; illustrated endpapers; original bookseller's label inside cover; sound binding. Book in VERY GOOD condition Chamber music is the youngest of the arts - in its present form its not more than four centuries old. The essential attitude of the chamber musician is a kind of inwardness, a devotion to music for what it says to the player rather than for any effect on the audience, a devotion to the free, pure and self-sufficient creation of a seemingly abstract beauty. The greatness of early English chamber music has remained generally unknown to the English musical public. Book has 80+ musical examples in text - some complete, some quotation only.
