Clifford Curzon is likely the English classical pianist, knighted for services to music in 1960.Slim 8vo. Cloth a little rounded at spine tips, slightly rubbed on corners. Small bookseller's ticked on front paste down else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original matte dust wrapper, faded, a little rubbed at edges, price clipped, sunned over spine.
