Beschreibung

Heavy wear. The covers are edge-worn and torn and held together by tape. Previous owner name at the top of the front cover. Twenty-eight pages, all loose, most separated. All show some degree of edge wear and small edge tears. Dett writes in the Introduction: "In the Bottoms is a Suite of five numbers giving pictures of moods or scenes peculiar to Negro life in the river bottoms of the Southern section of North America." Those five numbers, or movements, are 1. Prelude, 2. His Song, 3. Honey, 4. Barcarolle, and 5. Dance (Juba). Scarce with all five numbers together in the original edition. One of the most important composers of African descent, Dett was the descendant of slaves who escaped to freedom in Ontario, Canada, where he was born. He developed an early interest in old Negro spirituals from his grandmother and later incorporated that form into his classical compositions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 11716
