Visions of Music
This is my on-going blog about vintage popular sheet music. It features selected titles from my personal collection, along with expanded and illustrated topics that I've written on the history of this over-looked subject. After over 30 years of collecting sheet music, I own a treasure trove of fascinating titles that I hope to share with you through this medium. Vintage sheet music can be fun to look at and visually enjoyed, yet they are important historic artifacts as well. The covers can give us a keen insight into the world as it was, and they reflect the passage of time . . . a world long forgotten. It is the memories and history they evoke that transcends the music they contain.
Some of these sheets can be seen in my hard-cover book "Visions of Music," pictured at the top of the blog, which is available through Amazon.com or can be ordered through your local bookstore or from the book distributor rowman.com directly. Complete details: Title - Visions of Music: Sheet Music In the Twentieth Century / Author - Tony Walas / Published - Hal Leonard Books / Stock #126966 / ISBN#9781480387386 / Distributed by Rowman & Littlefield (Rowman.com) / List price $37.00.
Please support this Arts-related book – part music, part history, all fun. It is the only way I can convince my publisher that there is a popular demand for this special subject, allowing me to continue to produce additional titles covering the history of these wonderful pieces of sheet music.
If re-using any of these images, respect the rights of the various composers, performers, illustrators, and publishers. Most of all, enjoy.
