Description
Selling six instructional books for piano teaching, published at the start of the 20th century. Included is a rare vintage copy of "Twelve Hand-Formation Studies for Pianoforte" by renowned pedagogue Cuthbert Harris. These studies were designed to develop technical proficiency and correct hand positioning, providing a fascinating look at how piano was taught in the early 20th century
This Beginner’s Book School of the Pianoforte by Theo Prosser contains 63 pages of instructional information and music. Copyright 1912, although there are pieces of music within dating from 1902 - 1917
All books are in very good vintage condition for their age. One book has the owners name written in ink. The original (cotton?) binding is still in tact and although those books with staples show some rust, the staples still hold the pages in position. The books are largely unmarked, with a handful of pencil markings on some pages which I believe could be erased, or retained for interest/character
These books would be ideal for:
- piano teachers and students of music history;
- collectors of vintage sheet music;
- displaying or using for “shabby chic" styling/framing
