The Ukrainian Research Institute's 25th-Anniversary Exhibition at Houghton Library, Harvard University
54. Iaroslav Iaroslavenko (1880-1958)
Ukrains'ki marshi na fortepian. “Tym, shcho liahly holovamy: zhalibnyi marsh”
(Ukrainian Marches for the Piano. “For Those Who Gave Their Lives: Mournful March”)
Iaroslavenko (1880-1958) helped organize the music publishing house Torban, which he directed for more than thirty years. In addition to his pieces for piano, he composed an opera, operettas, choral works, solo songs, and church music. Graphic artist and painter Leopold Levyts'kyi (1906-1973), whose early work was influenced by cubism and expressionism, designed the cover exhibited here.
