vi, 110 pp. Original cloth. Gilt lettering rubbed on the word "Laurel" on front cover. Spine sunned. Very Good. Revised Edition (originally published in 1923). Both the first edition and the revised edition have 110 pp, and there isn't a preface to this revised edition, so I do not know the extent of the changes in this revised edition, if any. This is the middle of three volumes on Harmony by Arthur Olaf Andersen. SIGNED BY ARTHUR OLAF ANDERSEN TO VIOLINIST JACQUES GORDON: "To my good friend/ Jacques Gordon/ Arthur Olaf Andersen." A fine association as Andersen and Gordon were in Chicago together during the 1920s. Signed copies of Andersen's books are uncommon. Quoting Wikipedia about Arthur Olaf Andersen: "Andersen graduated from Newport High School in 1896 and went on to study in Boston with Charles Martin Loeffler, in Paris with George Guiraud and Vincent d'Indy, Hermann Durra in Berlin and Giovanni Sgambati in Rome. From 1908 he worked for the Theory Department of the American Conservatory of Music [where he and Jacques Gordon were colleagues] and from 1929 the Chicago Musical College, after which he joined the Music faculty of the University of Arizona as head of the Theory Department and dean of the College of Fine Arts. In 1934 he was awarded the honorary degree of Mus.D. by the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago [Jacques Gordon had been on the faculty of the Conservatory]." Quoting Wikipedia about Jacques Gordon: "Gordon began his violin studies at the age of five and was already performing as a musical prodigy at nine. In 1912, he graduated from the Imperial Conservatory in Odessa. He made his debut as a violinist in Berlin in 1911 and undertook a European tour in 1913. In the same year, he was awarded a gold medal by Tsar Nicholas II. After a concert tour of the USA and Canada in 191415, he studied violin with Fritz Kneisel and music theory with Percy Goetschius at the Institute of Musical Art. At the suggestion of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, he became a member of the Berkshire String Quartet in 1918, where he remained until 1920. In 1921, he founded the Gordon String Quartet in Chicago. That same year, he became concertmaster of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Frederick Stock. He also headed the violin department at the American Conservatory of Chicago [where he and Arthur Olaf Andersen were colleagues]. In 1930, Gordon moved to Falls Village and founded the Gordon Musical Association, which offered a summer school for music students, particularly chamber musicians, under the name Music Mountain. He therefore resigned his position with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. From 1928, he was a visiting lecturer at the Julius Hartt School of Music in Hartford. In the 1930s, he was conductor of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and a guest conductor of the New Haven Orchestra. For his contributions to chamber music, he was awarded the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Medal in 1938. In the academic year 194142, Gordon became a substitute teacher for Gustave Tinlot at the Eastman School of Music. In 1942, Howard Hanson appointed him head of the school's violin department. In 1947, he suffered a stroke during a concert with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1948, he succumbed to a second stroke, which he suffered during a private music session with Albert Spalding and Fritz Kreisler in Great Barrington.".…
