Description: Steinway Progress: An Appreciation Author: PADEREWSKI, I. J. Title: Steinway Progress: An Appreciation Publication: New York: Steinway and Sons, 1923 Description: String-bound. Large octavo, unpaginated [6pp.]. Near fine in the publisher's illustrated string-bound cardstock wrappers, with only trivial edgewear. A nicely printed endorsement of Steinway pianos by one of the great concert pianists of his era. The main text consists of a facsimile reproduction of Paderewski's manuscript essay endorsing Steinway pianos--in English--with a printed transcript below (for legibility's sake). Curiously, OCLC records eight copies of this ephemeral document in worldwide libraries, each under a different accession number, and most with different publication dates--as early as 1914, and as late as 1930. The endorsement itself is dated 1914. On the verso of the rear wrapper is printed the name and address of the Dreher Piano Co. on Huron Rd. in Cleveland. A great piece of early 20th century piano ephemera, steeped in Arts and Crafts aesthetic design. Near fine.
