From: Paula Eisenstein Baker <[email protected]> Date: March 11, 2009 12:59:23 CDT 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.
