Subject: Chamber music by Leo Zeitlin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leo Zeitlin, _Chamber Music, Paula Eisenstein Baker and Robert S. Nelson,
eds.
A-R Editions, Inc., 2009, lxxxiv + 199 pp., 4 plates
I am pleased to announce that a critical edition of chamber music by
composer Leo Zeitlin (1884-1930), which I co-edited, has been published by
A-R Editions, Inc. A brief description of the book and a list of the works
it contains (virtually all of them on Jewish themes) can be found at the
publisher's web site:<http://areditions.com/rr/rrn/n051.html>
In addition to musical scores for all Zeitlin's known works for chamber
ensembles, the book also includes a short biography of the composer,
including information abouth is participation in the early-20th-century
Society for Jewish Folk Music, and historical/analytic introductions to
each of the works.
A large number of the works are for voice and have Yiddish texts in YIVO
transliteration, English translation, Zeitlin's original (and highly
idiosyncratic) transliteration, and Yiddish in Hebrew letters (created for
the edition)
Readers may be interested by the information about Jewish musical
activity in St. Petersburg in 1904-17, Ekaterinoslav in 1917-21, Vilna in
1922-23, and New York in 1923-30.
