This is the first public printing of this volume, a reprint from 1919 originally published by Steinway and Sons, which celebrates composers including Chopin, Wagner, Liszt, Mozart, MacDowell, Beethoven, Berlioz, Verdi, Mendelssohn, Handel, Rubinstein, and Schubert through color paintings and prose portraits. The paintings, which are on display at Steinway Hall in New York, were done by American artists in 1918 and 1919. Huneker (1857-1921), who provides descriptions of the paintings, was a writer and music critic for the New York Times and other publications. There is no index or bibliography. The book measures 9.5x12.75 inches. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
