Initially published as 48 individual volumes - one Beauty per volume - they were meant to be taken home and enjoyed, only later being collected into 4 combined volumes and, eventually, one larger book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Beauties may certainly be used in performance and recital. They especially suite the shape of an encore as a display of beautiful, easy skill. One might say, however, that they're more at home on the living-room stand - ready for a pleasurable moment of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection is presented in facsimile from the found manuscript, with the original drawn titles of each work presented. Why? Simply because, like the works themselves, they are beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALRY Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968368726310,"sku":"9790302118749","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/nicholson-c-beauties-38-airs-variations-and-dances","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
