Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 413 pages. Published in 1988. Collection of letters by subject. One of the most important books on music of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a smal…l and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Virgil Thomson's "Selected Letters". Deeply absorbing letters from a composer who was also a man-of-letters. "There have been previous collections of the writings of the Grand Old Man of American music, but none as various and personally revealing as this. All his life, Thomson has been a meticulous correspondent, unfailingly courteous, crisp, and elegant, and it is a special pleasure to see these employed on minutiae as well as on such major matters as working on a libretto with Gertrude Stein. Two testy letters to a dilatory watch-repair company are models of their kind. But perhaps the heart of the volume is the letters Thomson returned to correspondents who took issue with him during his years on the New York Herald Tribune as the best, and certainly the most knowledgeable, music critic ever to write for an American newspaper. We see only Thomson's side of the correspondence, but his good sense and generosity of spirit, often in response to clearly irate muddle-headedness, is something to marvel at. The Pages have selected the letters from what they describe as a staggering quantity with great skill, to show Thomson in all his diversity. The concise identifying notes are both necessary and unobtrusive" (Publishers Weekly). Virgil Thomson is a central figure in 20th-century music. His correspondence, that is to say, his flawless writing, not only complements but demonstrates his unique genius. An absolute "must-have" title for Virgil Thomson collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest composers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER VIRGIL THOMSON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0671621173.

Cloth. Limited First Edition. Near Fine in a Near Fine slipcase. Fully bound in sage-green cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. Beige endpaper. 413pps. No dustjacket, as issued. There is a touch of sunning to the spine and a few small specks of soiling near the top of the fore-edge, otherwise clean, tight, square, and br…ight. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no previous ownership markings. The slipcase, of the same sage-colored cloth over boards, is mildly rubbed. One of 250 copies SIGNED by Virgil Thomson -- without further inscription -- on a special limitation page. ".As composer, critic, and memorialist, Virgil Thomson has been a crucial figure in American cultural life for more than half a century -- an elegant and improbable synthesis of boulevardier sophistication, churchy consonance, and Midwestern plain speaking. The roster of artists with whom he collaborated includes Gertrude Stein, Marianne Moore, Truman Capote, Frederick Ashton, John Houseman, Lincoln Kirstein, Robert Flaherty, John Cage, Florine Stettheimer, and many others. If we were to enumerate the people with whom Thomson came into contact over the course of his long career, this introduction would quickly devolve into a laundry list of the century's most glittering and brilliant personalities. Many of these will, as it happens, make an appearance or two in this collection of letters, culled from some twenty-five thousand documents spanning the years from World War I through the mid-1980s. The letters reveal Thomson as a diligent artist; a shrewd businessman; a staunch, confident critic (of music, books, landscapes, and people, by turn); a sympathetic and sensitive friend; a skillful reporter; a resolute champion of modernism in all its guises; a bon vivant and a man of the world who never forgot his Kansas City roots." -- from the Introduction. Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
