Discover an original Mūzikas Almanachs No. 25, a beautiful pre-war Latvian music anthology published in Riga, Latvia by Izdevniecība "Kazanova". This scarce vintage softcover edition is a wonderful example of interwar Baltic music publishing and reflects the vibrant musical culture of Latvia during the 1930s.
The anthology contains 25 carefully selected musical works for piano, ranging from classical and salon music to popular melodies, operetta selections, film songs, dance music and traditional compositions. It also includes several well-known sacred and seasonal pieces, making it an appealing publication for both collectors and musicians.
One of the most distinctive features of this edition is its multilingual format. The publication is printed primarily in Latvian, while many compositions include German titles and lyrics, and several songs also feature Russian lyrics. This multilingual presentation reflects the rich cultural diversity of interwar Riga and makes the book especially attractive to collectors of Baltic, German and Russian musical history.
Among the contents are works associated with artists such as Marta Eggerth, Benjamins Dzilītis, Paula Veselis, and Jānis Kipurs, together with traditional pieces including Ave Maria, Santa Lucia, Klusa nakts (Stille Nacht), Vom Himmel hoch, and many other popular selections of the period.
The book remains in very good vintage condition for its age. The binding is firm, all pages appear complete, and the musical notation is clean and fully legible throughout. The covers show light age-related wear, minor edge wear, surface toning, and a small handwritten notation on the front cover, all consistent with careful use over many decades. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the item's description and accurately represent its condition.
This is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of antique sheet music, Latvian history, Baltic cultural heritage, Art Deco printed material, vintage music publishing, multilingual books, and European paper ephemera.
Your book will be carefully packaged and securely shipped from Estonia.
