ONE OF 300 COPIES signed by the contributors, this copy with a label covering the limitation statement designating it a 'Review Copy' (and out of series), 33 colour plates with facing excerpts of notation and commentary, further photographs, pp. 96, 4to, original blue cloth blind-stamped to upper board and backstrip, top corners a little pushed with a few very faint marks, very good. A well-executed project - the influence of John Piper is evident, and not unexpected given his association with the composer (and indeed this work).
