Please feel free to inquire as to particulars . Edward B. Marks (1865-1945) founded his company, first called J. Stern & Co, with Joseph W. Stern in 1894. It star…ted with popular songs, but soon sold a wide range of genres: European composers such as Debussy, and Viennese operetta composers such as Oscar Strauss and Emmerich Kalman. After 25 years of business Edward B. Marks bought out Stern (1919) and changed the company name to Edward B. Marks. Its popular catalog included many African-American composers such as J. Rosamond & James Weldon Johnson, Bob Cole, James Reese Europe, Ford Dabney, Lucky Roberts, Chris Smith, Bert Williams, Eubie Blake, and Scott Joplin. in the 1920s they published educational items such as the Half Hour Teaching Editions (1921) for various instruments. Edward Marks' son Herbert Marks took over the company in 1945 and published many popular Latin music works. Marks bought out George M. Cohan in 1967. The current importance of Marks is mostly in his being USA agent for PWM and Josef Weinberger, but the firm publishes just about every kind of music, including works by Bolcom and Sessions.It is owned by Carlin America.

1p., 4to. On aged and worn paper, with chipping along one edge. He begins: 'Word of the loss of your dear husband reached us some time ago, but I was not able to write you until just now when I received your address from Ralph Hawkes.' He offers his condolences 'on behalf of our whole organisation'. According to Hawkes 'the fune…ral service was a most impressive one' and 'Mr. Finck was a great figure in the musical world and that he shall be missed a great deal. I can readily understand all of these statements, because I know he was not only a distinguished musician, but a very fine gentleman as well.' Finck's 'In the Shadows' was among the last tunes played as RMS Titanic went down.
