Ton Albert qui t'adore - The courtship letters of Albert Spalding to Mary V. Pyle (1919), edited by Suzanne Spalding Winston. Privately printed (limited edition of 1000 copies). $15.00 (S/H $5.00)

"To read these letters is to meet, become acquainted with, and to admire Albert Spalding. Few musicians have shared their dreams, doubts, and innermost thoughts as completely or in as polished manner as did Spalding...a self portrait of a world-renowned instrumentalist who comes alive through his letters...Suzanne Spalding Winston also worked with her uncle on his memoirs "Rise to Follow..."

Suzanne has transcribed Spalding's life-long letters to make them accessible to all music lovers and historians. The Spalding letters are archived at the Mugar Library at Boston University, Boston, MA.
