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.
