New York, G. Schirmer, Inc., 1944.

Quarto, three volumes, each containing conductor's scores for both original and modern instruments.

Decorated card covers with the full series titles on the front panel, and the three-page foreword by Grainger printed on the other three sides of each cover; short sealed tear to the first front cover, small light splash mark to the second front cover, and a few creases to the third front cover; trifling signs of handling; overall in excellent condition.

The front cover of each volume is signed and dated (October 1944) by Percy Grainger, with a warm personal inscription in each case, respectively 'To dear Harry, with love from his friend Percy'; 'To dear Harry, in boundless admiration from Percy'; and 'To Harry, in tonal fellowship from Percy'. The recipient is Harry Seitz, supervisor of music and conductor of the choir at the New Central School, Detroit, Michigan. We currently have in stock a superb large-format vintage portrait photograph of Percy Grainger, signed with a musical sentiment and a fulsome inscription 'To dear Harry, in warm admiration of his true genius, thanking him for his glorious first performance of "The Lost Lady", & in happy memory of one of the few electric concerts of my life (June 2). His friend, Percy, June 1938'. The concert was held in the Orchestral Hall of the school; the event is listed in the database of Grainger concerts from 1894-1960. (Many thanks to Barry Peter Ould, President Emeritus, The Percy Grainger Society, for this invaluable information.) [3 items].
