Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. A like new hardback copy - just about, despite it being fifty five years old there are no discernible faults to the book or the unclipped dustjacket but I couldn't classify it as new. First edition. Published by the Oxford University Press 1971. Yellow cloth binding, gilt spine lettering. Large 8vo, xx, 396pp. + timeline, b/w plates and index. 9½" x 6¼" (1.4 kg). Top edge dyed brown. 1st edition, 1st printing. A scarce hardback first edition, in an unclipped jacket. This is rare because most copies went into the library system, and are usually found in a poor condition. The binding is firm, there are no marks or inscriptions, and the book is beautifully produced. In the Oxford English Memoirs & Travels series; Preface by Roger Fiske. This astonishingly readable account casts light on the world of the serious international musical world in Mozart's time.
