Beethoven – Rolland, Romain. Beethoven the Creator. The great creative Epochs. I: From the Eroica to the Appassionata. From the French by Ernest Newman. London, Victor Gollancz, 1929. 2 vols. Large.-8°. With woodcut illustrations and 30 plates. 432 pp. Orig. cloth (spines foxing) in time-marked slipcase.

First English edition, one year after the French original, of the 2-vols. 1^st part (probably all) of Rolland’s “Les grandes époques créatives”, whose 2^nd part “Le chant de la résurrection. La Messe solennelle et les dernièrs sonates” followed, also in 2 vols., only in 1937 and has found obviously no continuation within the English edition here of which the BMC (today British Library Catalogue) mentioned only the 1^st part and as only as one of 55 copies like here, too.

of the édition de luxe (still otherwise published at all? see above) on wonderfully fresh heavy handmade Van Gelder-paper ,

autographed  by  the  author .
