What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

A revolutionary force in twentieth-century music, Arnold Schoenberg moved progressively from lush, late Wagnerian chromaticism to a complete break with traditional tonality, making possible previously unimagined methods of composition and combinations of sounds.
This edition of one of his most important orchestral works invites music devotees to retrace the first steps of the revolution he helped initiate. Possessing a soloistic texture and variations in instrumental color defined by "Grove's" as "chamber music for full orchestra," this work demonstrates the composer's daring explorations in music that renounces motivic connections as well as tonality. The groundbreaking "Five Orchestral Pieces" (1909) reproduced here from the authoritative C. F. Peters edition, appears with bar-numbered movements.
Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for musicians, music students, and music lovers alike.
