Paris: J. Hamelle [PN J. 2438 H.], 1902. Large octavo. Half dark green cloth with brown paper boards, original publisher's printed upper wrapper laid down to upper. [1] (title), 2 (contents and cast list), 3-215, [i] (blank) pp.

"[Indy's] famed veneration for Beethoven and Franck has unfortunately obscured the individual character of his own compositions, particularly his fine orchestral pieces descriptive of southern France. As a teacher his influence was enormous and wideranging, with benefits for French music far outweighing the charges of dogmatism and political intolerance." Robert Orledge and Andrew Thomson in Grove Music Online. (Inventory #: 28476)
