Rare! 1933, Vasos Germenis Lithograph Cover, Original Music Score, Ta Mavra Matia sou, Nikos Hatziapostolou

Description

Rare original 1933 Greek sheet music edition of Τα Μαύρα Μάτια Σου (Your Black Eyes) by Nikos Hatziapostolou, one of the foremost composers of Greek operetta.

Published by Columbia Alector Publishing Co., this edition features an original lithographic cover by Greek artist Vasos Germenis, adding significant artistic value to this already desirable musical item.

Hatziapostolou (1884–1941), alongside Theofrastos Sakellaridis, was a leading figure in the development of Greek operetta. This piece reflects the lyrical style and emotional richness of early 20th-century Greek music.

Vasos Germenis (1896–1966), an accomplished painter and sculptor with an international career, created the cover artwork. His work enhances the collectible appeal of this edition, making it both a musical and artistic artifact.

Original illustrated sheet music from this period is increasingly scarce, especially in such well-preserved form, and is rarely encountered on the market.
