Folio. [1] (decorative title printed in olive green and black, [2]-[3] (music), [i] (blank) pp. With printed date of 13 Nov[embre] 1889 to page 3.

With a small head-and-shoulders portrait and facsimile signature of the composer to upper wrapper.

French composer, teacher, conductor and editor of early music. His famed veneration for Beethoven and Franck has unfortunately obscured the individual character of his own compositions, particularly his fine orchestral pieces descriptive of southern France. As a teacher his influence was enormous and wideranging, with benefits for French music far outweighing the charges of dogmatism and political intolerance.
