Description

Rare signed first edition of Κυπριακοί ρυθμοί και μελωδίες (Cypriot Rhythms and Melodies) by Sozos Tombolis, published in Lefkosia (Nicosia) in 1966.

This important and substantial work is a cornerstone of Cypriot musicology and folk studies, offering a detailed exploration of traditional rhythms and melodies of Cyprus. Tombolis combines analysis, harmonization, and musical interpretation, bridging Byzantine, European, and local musical traditions.

A distinguished protopsaltis, educator, and conductor, Tombolis played a central role in the preservation and study of Cypriot musical heritage. His work remains highly regarded among musicians, ethnomusicologists, and scholars of Byzantine and folk music.

This particular copy is especially desirable as it is hand-signed by the author and retains its original dust jacket, a feature rarely found in such well-preserved condition.
