Description

Here is a boxed set of Beethoven's 32 Sonatas for the piano performed by Arthur Schnabel and issued with Schnabel's scholarly and authoritative 2 volumes of the written scores. This was issued by the Beethoven Society in conjunction with RCA and carries catalog #LPM 9500.

The 13 LPs are NM and frankly look unplayed. The books of piano music are also NM. There is a 6 page booklet that describes the contents of the box and it is NM-/VG+ with just signs of light handling. The only flaws at all with the set are the outer box. The main flaw is that half of the two-piece rounded dowel spine piece has come unglued (which is certainly understandable given that is been around since the mid 1950s!). There are also 2 original "staples" that look to have been used keep it in place. I am not going to attempt to "fix" or repair it because I don't have the skill set and I don't want to ruin it. I find the flaw to be a minor bother when compared to the pristine nature of the contents of the box.
Please understand how heavy this set is.....and I will package it accordingly. Unfortunately, that just means that shipping will be prohibitively expensive to anywhere outside of the US (please see eBay's shipping calculator for cost to your address).

Thanks for looking.
