1908 'Love Song' Piano Solo Sheet Music Folio~C.W. Cadman~The B.F. Wood Music Co.

Charles Wakefield Cadman 1908 composition, 'Love Song' (Liebeslied), published in Piano Solo folio form by The B.F. Wood Music Co.-Boston, New York, Leipzig, London. Cadman made his livelihood from royalties, piano concerts, music journalism, film scores, and lecture tours of the USA and Europe, which included a celebrated talk on American Indian music. Two of his operas were based on American Indian tales and songs, developed after research into their culture. One of Cadman's main interests was to "idealize" American Indian music by adding conservative 19th-century harmonies to the native melodies, a treatment that the musicologist John Comfort Fillmore claimed the American Indians themselves approved.

The folio has five pages plus extra set of covers with sample Compositions of A. F. Venino on the back, and sample New Third Grade Compositions and Novelties For The Third Grade on the last two pages. The sheet music for Love Song has pencil notations made by the former owner, not obscuring original scoring. The outer tan paper covers has minor soil and staining; the inner pages and in very good condition. No spine seam splitting, tears, or taping.
