Full-length standing right hand on piano with facsimile signature at lower outer corner. 298 x 197 mm.<br/><br/>Slightly worn soiled and creased; margins very slightly frayed with some small tears; narrow fold to left margin. Russell was an English composer pianist and singer. <br/><br/>"He claimed to have written the music for over 800 songs. A more realistic figure is perhaps 300 including 80 or so written in the United States many of his melodies being reissued with new lyrics and titles . Among the most popular were the sentimental "The Old Arm Chair" and the melodramatic "Woodman! Spare That Tree!" He also composed rousing songs about traveling on land or sea and several descriptive multi-sectional pieces similar in style and emotional content to Italian operatic scenes. Some of Russell's songs were written as statements for social reform; these include "The Maniac" concerning the "barbarous" conditions of private mental institutions "The Gambler's Wife" on the plight of a deserted mother and child and "The Indian Hunter" on racial intolerance."

Occasional markings in pen in the margins else very good. First edition. Considered the finest achievement in Slavic paroemiology of its time this collection of Ukrainian riddles and proverbs was assembled by the Ukrainian ethnographer folklorist writer and educator Matvii Nomys pseudonym of Matvii Symonov; 1823-1900. The proverbs cover the most diverse spheres of life customs and beliefs of the Ukrainian people and contributed to the development of national consciousness in Ukraine then a part of the Russian Empire. The book is divided into two parts: the first part in 20 chapters contains 14339 proverbs and sayings the smaller second part offers 505 riddles. <br/><br/>The collection includes proverbs collected not only by Nomys but also by other prominent Ukrainian writers and ethnographers such as the brothers Mykola and Vasyl Bilozerski Panteleimon Kulish Vasyl Lazarevsky Stepan Rudansky and the husband and wife folklorists Opanas Markovych and Marko Vovchok. In the 1840s many of these writers belonged to the secret political society called Cyril and Mythodius Brotherhood with Ukrainian national rebirth as its focus. The Brotherhood advocated the abolition of serfdom literacy and education for the broad masses the possibility for all Slavic nations to develop their language and culture and the unification of all Slavic nations with their center in Kiev. The society was quickly apprehended and its members which numbered at about 100 variously arrested and temporarily exiled in 1847. The brief existence of the society 1846-1847 left a mark on the Ukrainian intellectual milieu and many of the participants continued the project of building national consciousness by other means such as through collecting folklore. The publication of this collection gave a powerful impetus to the further development of Ukrainian paremiography with the second edition published in 1885 and a manuscript facsimile released in 1928. The edition was also confiscated following Alexander II's 1876 Ems Ukase which prohibited the use and dissemination of Ukrainian-language documents. This copy from the library of Ukrainian writer Zinovii Bilenko 1909-1979.

Overall good condition. First Edition. Rare 4 copies only located in OCLC.<br/><br/>Composed 1928; premiered in Saratoga Springs NY at the Yaddo Festival in 1935 by Walden String Quartet.<br/><br/>"Although he is probably best known for his tape and electronic music much of Otto Luening's output consists of solo and chamber music for traditional instrumental combinations. There are more than 40 orchestral works 50 songs the opera Evangeline the oratorio No Jerusalem But This and music for plays. The threads that run through the almost mind-boggling diversity of Luening's work are the solidity of his knowledge and technique his use of a harmonic practice derived from the overtones of the harmonic series and above all the strength of his wit. A dry and sophisticated humor is an important part of Luening's personality and a strong component of his teaching technique; it is also a major and often overlooked quality of his music. <br/><br/>"The string quartet no. 3 was composed in 1928 and is dedicated to the arts administrator Oliver Daniel who with Luening and Douglas Moore co-founded CRI in 1954. It is a more original and exuberant work with strong tonal elements and a clear elegant form. There are three movements: a "sonata" with themes and development that is followed without pause by a charming and surprising pastorale in F and a finale which is typically for a composer who can never sit still made up of 21 suave and witty variations on a twelve-tone theme."
