This fascinating collection of three rare sheet music editions from the Georgian branch of the USSR Music Fund offers a captivating overview of the region's rich musical heritage and its integration into Soviet cultural production across three decades. The lot provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Georgian vocal and cinematic music, spanning from the post-war era to the late Soviet period. The earliest piece, published in 1952, is a vocal and piano arrangement of "Tsitsinatela" (Firefly) by V. Gokieli, set to the immortal lyrics of the great Georgian poet Akaki Tsereteli. This publication highlights the ongoing effort to codify and disseminate beloved national classics for the mid-century conservatory and domestic repertoire. Following this is a highly collectible 1957 edition featuring songs and a romance from the popular Georgian comedy film Abezara (Splinter/Zanoza), composed by the renowned Sulkhan Tsintsadze. With lyrics by P. Gruzinsky and Russian translations by G. Mazurina, this 19-page landscape-format score exemplifies the vibrant cross-cultural exchange and the massive popularity of Soviet Georgian cinema. Rounding out the collection is a 1986 publication by Eduard Sanadze consisting of two intricate a cappella songs for children's choir, reflecting the enduring strength of the Georgian choral tradition and its pedagogical applications in the later years of the USSR. Preserved in good condition with their original soft covers, these Tbilisi imprints are vital primary sources for musicologists, bibliophiles, and collectors of Caucasian musical history, documenting the brilliant synthesis of traditional Georgian lyricism and classical compositional techniques.
