    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer, who arguably went on to become the most influential composer of his time. He was known for his classical style, and composed more and six-hundred pieces during his lifetime before his early death at the age of thirty-five. Edward Holmes was a pianist and musicologist, who published 'A Ramble among the Musicians of Germany', 'Life of Purcell', and 'Analytical and Thematic Index of Mozart's Piano-works'. With a frontispiece two folding plates of sheet music. Prior owner's ink inscription to the verso of the front free endpaper. Pencil annotation to the bottom of page 290, not affecting text.

Closed tear to the front endpaper near to the binding at the head and tail. Evidence of lacking the rear free endpaper. Internally generally firmly bound, thought slightly strained in places.
