Beschreibung

8vo, 287 pp, bound at an early date in marbled boards backed in crushed dark green morocco raised in four bands at the spine, gilt titles and florets. If originally issued in wraps, the covers are not preserved. Illustrated with photographs, drawings and musical notation. Text in Portuguese. The second edition of Pimentel's sequel to A Triste Canção do Sul: subsidios para a historia do fado, which had been the second book published on Fado. This edition appeared just 2 years prior. In the present work, Pimentel turns his eye to the folk musics of Northern Portugal, romanticizing them as a rural art form distinct from the music of the urban areas and the South, which he associated with Fado. For a discussion of some of the ideological underpinnings inherent in this work, and the influence of the theories of Basílo Teles on Pimentel's work , see João Silva's Entertaining Lisbon, pp. 177-81. An essential work to understand the early conceptions of the history of Fado and other Portuguese musical forms. Leather and boards rubbed at extremities, foxing and soiling to the endpapers, which have a wormhole near gutter also affecting the first few pages. A worn, but good example with a sturdy binding.
