Judenthum in Der Musik

Leipzig: Verlagsbuchhandlung von J..J. Weber, 1869. Cloth. Very Good. Following the 1850 original printing of Wagner's virulent attack on the influence of Judaism in music, this is the 1869 correct 2nd edition (published out of Leipzig and for the first time using Wagner's own name as author). Rebound (in the mid-20th century) in a light-blue cloth, with dark leather title label at the spine. New front and rear endsheets as well. Happily though, the complete book is bound-in, including the original light-green wrappers, which show minor soiling and creasing along the edges. The original text has held us very nicely as well; bright, clean and eminently readable. Octavo, 57 pgs. plus publisher's ad at the rear.
