691 pp. A very good copy in red gilt publisher's cloth, inscribed to composer Alec Rowley (1892 - 1958) on the first free endpage by the colorful, enigmatic Parsi composer and journalist best known for his keyboard works of labyrinthine complexity and protracted length, some lasting hours. Notorious for his reclusiveness and prickly manner, Sorabji imposed a decades-long moratorium on performances of his works, relenting only in his final years. Any signed material is scarce.
