American conductor, educator, music critic, and
composer Richard Franko Goldman (1910 – 1980)
Few have contributed to the concert band field
more than the Goldman family. Many credit Richard
Franko Goldman with being one of the central
figures behind the rather dramatic improvement of
literature for band that occurred after World War
II, and which continues to the present. This book
provides important historical insights into the
performance of serious music by winds and
percussion including discussion of many of the
important commissions and transcriptions and
editions by Richard Franko Goldman and his father
Edwin Franko Goldman.
Beautiful condition for this hardcover. Clean
unmarked pages with a soft bump or slight fold (?)
to upper right very tip. Almost not worth
mentioning.
Jacket shows corner and spine end wear, few minor
edge tears. Still very nice for the age and great
display ability.
Please see photos, enlarge and email with any
questions. Thanks for looking.
