Russian in Song
Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1949. Paperback. 78p., musical notation and lyrics in Russian and English, texts appear to have been reproduced from typescript using both cyrillic and western machines. A softbound in 10.5x8.5 inch decorated wraps, somewhat edgeworn with turned corner-tips and a chip-flap to tail of spine. Mild general toning of paperstock, smudgy foxing to back cover, chip repaired expertly (it's still ugly), a good copy. Author remarks in her two-page preface that "Since Russian is a fairly new field in the English-speaking countries, I have come to rely upon the song as a teaching instrument.." Expect troikas and tractors, fairytales and warfare, many of these from children's repertoire.
