About This Item
New York: Dover Publications, 1951. hardcover. Books: VG: mild shelf wear, offset to endpapers, both volumes unmarked, tight bindings/DJ VG: mild age toning/edge wear, NOT clipped. 8vo 656pp. + (721pp. +419pp.) Unabridged Edition Three Volumes Bound as Two. from front flap: "Spitta's monumental study of Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the great classics of musicology. Since it was first published in 1873-1880, it has remained the basic work upon Bach, the foundation of all later research and study. In all likelihood it will never be superseded as the most thorough coverage of its subject, since Spitta combined a genius for historical scholarship, musical understanding and incredible energy in gathering source material that has seldom been matched." #02424 HEAVY ITEM WILL REQUIRE EXTRA S/H.
