Large-format illustrated hardcover music anthology containing hundreds of pages of engraved piano arrangements and salon repertoire by Strauss, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Gottschalk, Waldteufel, Delibes, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Chopin-Liszt, and others. Includes On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Over the Waves, The Last Hope, Turkish March, Martha, Fantasia, A Ray of Sunshine, and many additional late-Romantic and light-classical favorites intended for home performance and studio instruction. Decorative embossed brown cloth binding with lyre-and-foliage Art Nouveau/Arts & Crafts styling; printed decorative endpapers; frontispiece illustration plate present. A substantial interwar-era music reference and performance volume produced during the golden age of domestic piano culture in America. The International Library of Music series was designed both for amateur pianists and serious students, combining accessible arrangements with conservatory-oriented editorial oversight. This volume focuses heavily on transcriptions, waltzes, salon music, opera excerpts, and lyrical piano repertoire popular in American parlors and teaching studios during the early twentieth century. The engraved notation remains sharp and highly usable for performers, while the elaborate publisher's design gives the book strong decorative shelf presence. Condition: Good. Binding remains intact and usable but with notable cloth loss and splitting at the spine, especially along the rear hinge area; fraying and rubbing to corners and spine ends; spine panel partially perished. Text block remains firmly attached overall. Interior is generally clean with moderate age toning and scattered foxing/handling wear; several penciled check marks in contents pages; no major dampstaining observed. Music pages remain legible and attractive. No dust jacket, as issued. A solid working/reference copy with evident shelf wear but good visual appeal internally. Edition/Printing: 1925 University Society edition, Volume III (Popular Favorites Piano Transcriptions), from the International Library of Music for Home and Studio series. Title page and copyright page both dated 1925 with no later printing statements noted. A few sentences about the editors and contributors: Charles Dennée, associated with the New England Conservatory of Music, served as editor-in-chief of this ambitious educational series aimed at bringing conservatory-quality musical instruction into American homes. The contributor list includes notable early twentieth-century musicians, pedagogues, and composers such as Victor Herbert, Rudolph Ganz, and Fannie Morris Smith. The anthology reflects a period when piano study and home music-making were central parts of middle-class cultural life in the United States.…
