First edition, first printing, one of 300 numbered copies
signed in pencil by Kandinsky (there was also 45 Hors
Commerce). One of three major publications by Kandinsky
alongside Über das Geistige in der Kunst and
the Blaue Reiter almanac, Klänge (Sounds) consists of
38 prose-poems which Kandinsky wrote between 1909
and 1911 and 56 woodcuts which he began in 1907. He
described Klänge as a „musical album“. The woodcuts
were not merely illustrative, nor were the poems purely
verbal descriptions; the meaning was created through
the interaction of space between text and image, sound
and meaning, mark and blank space. The coloured
woodcuts were printed by F. Bruckmann A. G., Munich,
and the text and black and white woodcuts printed
by Poeschel & Trepte, Leipzig. – Rifkind 1368; Roethel
