Description: |
This sampling of photographs, drawings, manuscripts, and illustrations from the collections of the Library of Congress illuminates in fascinating detail some of the people and works of more than two centuries of classical music. Here are Beethoven and Bach, Debussy and Lili Boulanger, Horowitz and Rachmaninoff; La Bohme, and Mendelssohn's rendering of the Gewandhaus; Stravinsky caricatured by the master Covarrubias; instruments from a nineteenth-century French encyclopedia; and a letter in which the fourteen-year-old Mozart sends thousands of kisses to his mother.
30 full-color and b/w reproductions. Postcards are bound together in a handy collection. Printed on heavy card stock, each is easy to remove. Postcards are oversized and may require additional postage. 4 3/4 x 6 7/8 inches. |
