Rilegato. Condition: molto buono. prima edizione. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Volume 1: From the Sixteenth Century to the Time of Beethoven. Alfred Louis Bacharach (11 August 1891 - 16 July 1966), was a British food scientist, scientific author, socialist, and editor of music history and criticism. He wrote as A. L. Bacharach. Bacharach was born in Hampstead, London and educated at St Paul's School, London and Clare College, Cambridge until 1914. At Cambridge he was a member of the Fabian Society, where he made a lifelong friendship with the journalist William Norman Ewer. He was a member of the 1917 Club for socialists in London's Soho and later became involved with the left-wing Guild Socialist Movement and (for forty years) with the Labour Research Department. From 1914 and for the rest of his life he was closely associated with the Working Men's College in North West London, where friends and colleagues included Ivor Brown and C. E. M. Joad, as well as Ewer. Bacharach's primary activity outside of science was music history. His interest in music began at St Paul's School and continued at Cambridge from 1909, where he took a Master of Arts degree after graduating as a chemist. He was an accomplished pianist, but always styled himself an amateur or "passive musician". Bacharach acted as the program secretary to the Sunday Chamber Music Society Concerts at the Working Men's College, Camden Town for 20 years. He persuaded internationally famous artists such as Harriet Cohen and Solomon to perform at the College, including several first performances of music by Arnold Bax. He edited a series of music books in the 1940s and 1950s, some of which achieved high circulation and a long afterlife as they were published in the mass market Pelican series of non-fiction paperbacks by Allen Lane. They included The Musical Companion (1934, for Victor Gollancz, revised as The New Musical Companion in 1957), Lives of the Great Composers (three Pelican volumes, 1935, reissued and expanded between 1948 and 1954 in four Cassell volumes as The Music Masters, Pelican editions 1957), and British Music of Our Time (1946, revised 1951). He was a contributor to the Week-end Review, The Athenaeum and the New Statesman.
