Complete in two volumes. 154pp, with occasional black and white illustrations; 196 plate illustrations. Both volumes in laminated, illustrated stiff card covers. 4to. Some gentle edge wear to card covers of both volumes, shelf worn and lightly sunned over spines. Both volumes internally neat. clean, bright and tight.

A nice, complete set giving analysis and examples of the manuscripts of the works of famous classical music composers; volume one is largely a discussion of the difference between printed and written music, changing methods of musical notation, changing fashions and styles in handwriting and the characteristics of individual hands, tools and techniques for writing and musical notation etc; facsimile reproductions of masterworks and handwriting make up most of volume two.
