Clack, Robert Wood
Celestial symphonies: A study of Chinese Music
92 pages. "To the materialistically scientific Occident one of the most maddening characteristics of the Chinese people is their ability to work out a subject in great detail theoretically, combined with their absolute infifference to the practical application of all this beautiful theory. And in no field is this better illustrated than in the realm of music." - from page 1. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear to publisher's red cloth. A superb copy. Book
