Seller's Description:
Good. No Jacket. Good, clean, tight copy. Text has marks and marginalia. No dust jacket. Professional book dealer since 1999. All orders are processed promptly and carefully packaged.
An excellent book on an important but sadly neglected topic. The author has obviously spent years in finding and arranging this material. He must have spent at least 5 years on the timeline alone, an extraordinary source of performances and publications, of sources difficult to find. He writes with enthusiasm for both music and research. The book comes from his own strong performance ability and musicality. It provides a great source book for all interested in wind bands both historically and practically right up to the present day.
