Upper half of sheet from a spiral-bound 12-staff pad.  5.5 x 8 inches (14 x 20.5 cm).  In very good condition. 


"He was on the staff of Radio City Music Hall when it opened (1932), and came of age during the golden era of radio: beginning at the age of 21 and for the following eight years he conducted, arranged and composed for the weekly programme ‘Music for Today’ on WOR, New York. Through network radio he attained national recognition, as well as the discipline to write to a deadline and the habit of providing descriptive titles for movements rather than just tempo indications.  From the symphonettes (short orchestral works written to fit the radio format) came the ‘Pavane’, which rivalled another work of the period, American Salute (1943), as his most popular work."  Ed Matthew in Grove Music Online
