[Hamburg], 2006. 30 x 39, 71, 6 pp. Full color
facsimile of Shostakovich’s full score autograph of the orchestra
arrangement of the musical
hit “Tea for Two”. The composer evidently became acquainted with the
Russian version of the
song—called “Taiti-Trot”—in 1926 in the Meyerhold Theater, where it
formed a number in a
theater piece. The composer’s arrangement (for large orchestra) dates
from 1927 and was
stimulated by the conductor Nikolaj Malko to whom it was dedicated. As
the new proletariat
orientation of the Soviet culture took place Shostakovitch was
compelled to distance himself
from the work which was criticized for its decadent Western posture.
Although a set of parts
existed in the Soviet Union, allowing occasional performances and
providing the basis of two
posthumous editions (1984 & 2006), the original manuscript stayed
in the possession of Malko
until 1989, when it passed to the Paul Sacher Foundation. This
publication, a festschrift
honoring the 60th birthday of Hermann Danuser, presents for the first
time a complete
facsimile edition, accompanied by 5 essays and a reproduction of the
1926 Russian edition of
"Taiti-Trot". Linen. $89 (view
