First edition.
From the library of the legendary conductor of the Chicago Symphony Fritz Reiner, inscribed to him by Herman Hettinger on the front endpaper in the year of publication: "To Fritz Reiner -- in appreciation not only of his assistance but of his uncompromising standards in orchestral work. / Herman Hettinger / April 14, 1940". Very good .
