Description:
[Salem, Oregon, December 4, 1892 and August 20, 1893]. [3]pp. and [4]pp. 4tos. With original, postally used mailing envelopes. Folds; very good. Two humorously illustrated letters sent to a schoolgirl in Pennsylvania from a young married couple in Salem, Oregon, Frank L. Willman, Sr. and Etta Willman. Frank illustrated and physically wrote out both letters though the text appears to have been a collaboration by the couple, Etta suggesting some content and likely contributing a humorous poem and one letter containing added content signed by her. Notable here is a four-page letter depicting Etta Willman-"champion of the northwest Ladies Giggling and so called Tennis Club of Salem Oregon." It describes and illustrates a recent game of tennis, a game played on one of Salem's "...oldest and best courts...laid out 6 yrs. ago..." The description comprises a humorous poem and a pair of illustrations that shows Etta Willman wearing a long dress with a bustle accompanied by a dog with a tennis racket tied to… Read More

Description:
New York: New Music. July, 1950. 14, [2]pp. Small quarto wrappers with small abrasion to front cover, short closed tear near gutter of title-page, two music library stamps, very good. First edition of Morton Feldman's first piano work (1950) to appear in print, one of his earliest compositions and one of his earliest published works: "Feldman's aesthetic crystallized in the early 1950s when he became associated with John Cage, Earle Brown, Christian Wolff and David Tudor. His strongest influence, however, came from New York abstract expressionist painters. Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and especially Philip Guston stimulated Feldman to imagine a sound world unlike any he had ever heard." (Steve Johnson) The second portion of this title contains "Four Cantos" by Seymour Shifrin. A very brief biographical of both composers appears at the end.
