Hans von Bülow, ed. Edward Schuberth & Co.: New York, [c 1881, based on plate number]. Pl.n: E.S.&Co. 752. Quarto. 115 pp. Black pebled leather wrappers. A little worn, but clean and in good condition on the whole. Title page detached. A few pencil notes throughout and inscription by former owners on front endpaper.
An early edition of von Bülow's edition of fifty piano studies by English pianist J. B. Cramer, with an introduction, commentary, and instructions in both English and German.
It is often and regrettably forgotten today just how good and influential of a pianist Johann Baptist Cramer really was: Beethoven himself considered Cramer the finest technician of their generation. In his introduction to this edition, von Bülow also heaps praise on Cramer's talent for pedagogical composition: As a means of imparting to the Piano-forte player execution and correct interpretation this work is much superior to all similar productions.
