Rimsky-Korsakow, Nikolai. (1844–1908). 5 Mélodies, Op. 46 ["By the Sea"] - SIGNED. Leipzig: M. P. Belaieff. 1898. First edition. Upright folio (34 x 27 cm), 22 pp. [PN] 1625 - 1630. With text by A.K. Tolstoi. Signed and inscribed in brown ink on the title page by the composer. In the original yellow printed wrappers, slightly chipped along the edges and spine but holding strong and very good generally.

A rare inscribed copy of some of the composer's most charming and lyrical songs, with texts by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy.
