About This Item
Boston: Oliver Ditson Company, 1913. This ex-library book, with library markings, on front and rear endpapers and spine, is nonetheless in Very Good condition. It is bound in a solid hard cover library binding, and the exterior covers show scuffing and library markings on the spine. The binding is tight and secure, with library markings on the front and rear endpapers. This volume was originally bound in oversized softcover wraps, which are beautifully preserved here, thanks to the protective hard cover. The original pages and the piano music itself are all bright and clean, with no marks or underlinings, in short, a fine example of not judging a book by its cover. Adolf Jensen (1837-1879) was a German of Scandinavian descent, and considered in his own time a worthy successor to Robert Schumanns. Although today he is often remembered for his piano music, he also composed various song cycles, well represented here. The book includes 40 of his songs for high voice, in both the original German and English translation. Additionally, there is a biographical sketch by William Foster Apthorp and a handsome portrait of the composer. The book measures 9 1/2 by 12 3/4 inches and includes 184 pages. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
