Rare, 1933 Greek Sheet Music O Prodomenos, Nikos Hatziapostolou, Lithograph Cover by Vasos Germenis

Description

Rare original 1933 Greek sheet music edition of Ο Προδομένος (The Betrayed) by Nikos Hatziapostolou, one of the foremost composers of Greek operetta.

This expressive piece, with lyrics by G. Kambysis, reflects the dramatic and emotional character of early 20th-century Greek music and theatre.

Published by Columbia Alector Publishing Co., the edition is distinguished by its original lithographic cover by Greek artist Vasos Germenis, adding both artistic and collectible value.

Hatziapostolou (1884–1941), together with Theofrastos Sakellaridis, was a key figure in the development of Greek operetta, and his compositions remain representative of the genre’s golden era.

Vasos Germenis (1896–1966), an accomplished painter and sculptor, provides a striking cover illustration that enhances 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.
