Rare original 1933 Greek sheet music edition of Καρδιά Που Πεθαίνει (Dying Heart) by Nikos Hatziapostolou, one of the foremost composers of Greek operetta.
This expressive piece features lyrics by Hatziapostolou himself and reflects the emotional and lyrical style of early 20th-century Greek music.
Published by Columbia Alector Publishing Co., the edition is distinguished by its original lithographic cover by Greek artist Vasos Germenis, adding significant artistic and collectible value.
Hatziapostolou (1884–1941), together with Theofrastos Sakellaridis, was a key figure in the development of Greek operetta, and his works remain emblematic of the genre’s golden era.
Vasos Germenis (1896–1966), an accomplished painter and sculptor, provides a striking cover illustration that enhances both the visual and historical appeal of this item.
Original illustrated Greek sheet music from this period is increasingly scarce and rarely appears on the market, especially in complete condition.
