Standard Violin Pieces Appraisal

Standard Violin Pieces Sheet Music (Music for the Million Series)

The item is a vintage sheet music book titled "Standard Violin Pieces," part of the "Music for the Million" series. This softcover book features an orange cover with blue and white decorative elements, including a prominent rectangular title block with the words "STANDARD VIOLIN PIECES." Below the title, it states "CONTAINING FORTY-FIVE CELEBRATED COMPOSITIONS FOR VIOLIN WITH PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT BY FAMOUS COMPOSERS INCLUDING" followed by a list of composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, and many others. The cover design is typical of early 20th-century sheet music publications, featuring elaborate borders and decorative flourishes. A notable feature is the Mumil Publishing Company, New York inscription near the bottom. The number "75" is visible in a circle in the bottom right corner, likely indicating a price or catalog number. The cover appears to be made of paper or thin cardstock. Visible condition issues include an overall aged appearance, potential edge wear not clearly visible in the image, and slight fading of the orange color. The binding appears to be stapled or stitched, though this is not clearly discernible. The style suggests a publication date likely in the first half of the 20th century. The overall quality appears functional, consistent with a mass-produced music publication of that era.
