Description: Hi! You're looking at an outstanding condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a fascinating collection of writings on music by WANDA LANDOWSKA, the foremost harpsichordist of the 20th Century, edited by DENISE RESTOUT from Landowska's personal papers--the book is a collectible copy which is SIGNED BY EDITOR DENISE RESTOUT and a softcover copy. This book is in outstanding condition and is a former library copy with typical markings and a laminated cover; the book has a very light crease on the spien end and just slight shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is AUTOGRAPHED and inscribed by editor Denise Restout on the blank first page. The book is titled Landowska on Music: Collected, Edited, and Translated by Denise Restout, assisted by Robert Hawkins and it was written by WANDA LANDOWSKA and edited by DENISE RESTOUT with the assistance of ROBERT HAWKINS; it was published by Stein and Day in 1981 and is a 3rd Edition copy.The idea of having all herr notes and writings on music collected in one volume had long been a cherished wish of Wanda Landowska's and when, shortly before her painful death, she delegated this formidable yet delicate task to Denise Restout, she could not have made a more fortunate choice. Not onlly has Mss Restout had access to all the material--having been for 26 years a member of Landowska's household, first as pupil, then as secretary, assistant and lover--but she has shown a rare ability to create, from what were often only fragments, a vivid and homogenous picture of one of the greatest and most controversial musical figures of her time; one who counted scores of fanatical adorers in every country she visited.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
