This book has been well cared for and the dust jacket has done it's job of protecting the book. The dust jacket is complete and the $10 price is not clipped. The edges show some wear. Universally recognized as the foremost authority on Schubertian biography and bibliography, Professor Deutsch has collected in this volume more than 1200 documents relating to Schubert's life and work, with elaborate commentary on each. Over 150 other entries complete the biographical record. This book is concerned entirely with actual events and records and undertakes no subjective presentation of Schubert as a personality nor any discussion of his work. Here are Schubert's letters, press notices, extracts from diaries, quotations from programs, official papers and all manner of other pertinent material. This documentary biography gives a vivid and unbiased picture of the man and the artist. The facts speak for themselves so that this work will henceforth form the basis of any future writings on Schubert either as a man or as a composer. This book also contains a full and elaborate commentary giving details about persons and circumstances mentioned and offers a wealth of information on the music and musical life of the early 19th century and on the important composers of the time. Professor Deutsch, now a resident of Cambridge, England, is a Viennese who spent all his earlier life in close touch with the people and places which form the background of Schubert's life.
