I don't know much about the Austrian composer and arranger Carl Elias Mieses (1867-1940).  Born in Guntramsdorf in Lower Austria, he seems to have made a career in the early 1900s as an arranger of dance music in Berlin.  He specialized in orchestral pot-pourris (basically selections of themes from stage works), and wrote under various pseudonyms: for example, Carl Mies; George Elbon; Richard Bird; Ernest Tompa; Franz Wessobrunn; Karl Wetter; B. Mattoni; and of course, Camillo Morena.  Intriguingly, the cover has a photograph of a real blonde woman, but there is no dedication.
