Rudhyar, Dane. (1895–1985). "Tetragram" - Signed Musical Score.
Signed copy of the first two pages (as recto and verso) from "Summer Nights," no. 9 of "Tetragrams," for piano (1967 according to copyright note; but date "1968" to head of first staff) ) by the French-born American composer, a composition published as a facsimile of the autograph. Inscribed, "with the best wishes for his collection / for Steven Juscik / Dane Rudhyar." 11 x 8.5 inches (28 x 21.5 cm). In fine condition.
"Rudhyar (born Daniel Chennevière) emigrated to the USA in 1916. His exploration of Rosicrucianism, Buddhism, alchemy and the Baha’i movement, and his involvement in theosophy, led him to adopt the name Rudhyar from the Sanskrit rudra, meaning dynamic action. After 1930 Rudhyar turned away from composition and musical aesthetics to astrology, a field in which he became highly regarded. After being rediscovered by Peter Garland, James Tenney and others during the 1970s, his early works enjoyed a considerable revival and he returned to composing." Carol J. Oja in Grove Music Online
