About This Item
Bowen Merrill, 1902. Hardcover. Good. Signed and inscribed by Sousa. One of the early plates is mostly loose from the binding. The binding is cracked on page 42, but overall the text block is solidly bound and the sewn signatures are tight. Gilt decorative cover boards with some scuffing mostly to the back and some light stains to the front.
Synopsis
The coming of Diotti to America had awakened more than usual interest in the man and his work. His marvelous success as violinist in the leading capitals of Europe, together with many brilliant contributions to the literature of his instrument, had long been favorably commented on by the critics of the old world. Many stories of his struggles and his triumphs had found their way across the ocean and had been read and re-read with interest.
