Slightly worn and creased. Foss was a prominent American composer, conductor, and pianist. "For all their diverse styles, [his] works spring from a distinct personality: enthusiastic, curious and receptive to every kind of musical idea. Not coincidentally, these are the same attitudes he instilled in audiences with his performances of the classical repertory and new music. In short, he was one of his era's most communicative and representative composer-performers." Gilbert Chase and David Wright in Grove Music Online.

Guillermo Espinosa (1905-1990) was a noted conductor and champion of South American music.
