- Collection of illustrated Soviet popular-song sheet music from the New Economic Policy period (1921–1928).
- Curatorial note:
-
These pieces of author-published popular-song sheet music are graphic and musical artifacts of the NEP years—a brief period of cultural liberality and free enterprise experiments in the Soviet era’s first decade. Their rich cover illustrations in a wide range of styles testify to this transitory freedom and a fascination with contemporary Western culture, and especially with American metropolitan urbanism in the roaring twenties. Many of the songs themselves are written in the musical styles and genres of America’s Jazz Age. “Eccentric dances” and foxtrots enthralled many in the cultural capitals of Moscow and Petrograd/Leningrad, but were often vehemently condemned by ideologues as the depraved entertainments of a hedonistic society in steep decline.
