Published by Forsyth Brothers Ltd., 34 Berners Street, London 1933. 1933.
Vintage piano sheet music in illustrated brown card covers with three ships and Stephenson's Rocket to the front cover, twine binding. 12'' x 9½''. Contains 12 + 2 pages. Travelling Along is a fine collection of thirty short studies for pianoforte which was 'written with the purpose of surmounting a particular technical difficulty'. Foreword to the studies states that these 'should be memorised and transposed by ear into all the keys, beginning of course with the easier keys.' Technical points explored include rotary exercises, study in five time, arpeggio practice, a modern scale (actually mixolydian) and a legato study on the black keys. Each exercise is given a picturesque title, such as Sad Bells, The Dancing Girl, Spring in a Strange Land and Little White Butterflies. The work was highly praised by none other than the great Myra Hess: she writes 'These are delightful little studies, full of imagination, and instructive both musically and technically.' Finger soiling to the fore edges, small tears to the ends of the outside cover. Member of the P.B.F.A.
