Crayon performance markings in first violin and cello parts, foxing throughout, otherwise very good.Complete set of four parts.

MUS-09779$1,400This is a Parisian edition issued simultaneously with the Mainz edition (though the Parisian imprint lacks the plate number, 2351). The Mainz edition was also re-issued with the addition of "à Paris rue de Bourbon No 17," but the lack of plate number demonstrates that this is the Parisian printing of the first edition.
