  Novelette, Witold Lutoslawski
Composed very much with him in mind and dedicated to him, it was subsequently commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London, at one of whose concerts he gave the World Premiere.
Novelette is in five movements and despite the work’s almost miniature character, its total duration is eighteen minutes.
As has happened in some of my other works, the last movement is more substantial than those which precede it, forming a kind of counterbalance to them.

  Novelette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A novelette (or novelet) is a piece of short prose fiction.
The distinction of novelette compared to other literary forms, like a novel, is usually based upon word count.
The Hugo and Nebula awards for science fiction define the novelette as having a word count between seven thousand five hundred (7,500) and seventeen thousand five hundred (17,500) in length.

 Anthony's Novelette Camera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Although not historically interesting, I like the Patent Novelette because it is one of Anthony's "funkier" designs.
But it is the brass frame supported stereoscopic "round-face" feature that sets Novelette cameras apart from the others.
The Novelette also incorporates the same rotating back and bellows feature that is found on Anthony's Phantom Camera.

 Mark Twain - "Original Novelette"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The only drawback there is to the following original novelette, is, that it contains nothing but truth, and must, therefore, be void of interest for readers of sensational fiction.
Neither can she return to her old home and fall at the feet of the husband of her early love, praying him to forgive, and bless and board her again, as he was wont to do in happier days; because when her destroyer shook her, behold he shook her without a cent.
We have stated the case, and the thrilling original novelette is finished, and is not to be continued.

 House of Beadle and Adams Online / Beadle's Half-Dime Novelettes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The first 30 pages of the Half-Dime Novelette are identical, page for page, with the first 32 pages of the unabridged edition which later appeared as Dime Novel No. 54, the difference of two pages being accounted for by the difference in numbering the first page of the text.
The next seven pages of the Novelette and five pages of the Novel differ somewhat, but with the beginning of Chapter VI on page 38 of both Novelette and Novel, the text is identical to the bottom of page 59.
The Novelette concludes with pages 60 to 64 which are identical with pages 92 to 96 of the Novel.

 Good Short Novels: How Short is a Short Novel?
The words novella and novelette are often used interchangeably with the term short novel, with no appreciable distinction in meaning between the three.
In some cases, however, novella and novelette are used to signify subsets within the broader category of the short novel.
So short novel, novella, and novelette seem to signify a potential for publication in book form as a discrete volume, whereas a short story, being comparatively shorter, seems to almost always be intended as part of a collection of other stories in book form.

 Pacific Rim Camera : Photographica Pages: Anthony Patent Duplex (Stereo) Novelette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Since Scovill held the rights to the revolving back, Anthony employed a system that allowed the back of the Novelette to be detached from the rear bed, and the entire back and bellows of the camera to be turned from the horizontal to vertical position.
In 1886, Anthony modified this system so that the front of the bellows could be detached from the front standard as well, allowing the entire back and bellows unit to be removed.
The Patent Duplex Novelette was available as a 5x8 or 8x10 on an 8x10 frame, or as an 8x10 or 11x14 on an 11x14 frame.

Up until the 1880s, most cameras were designed for studio use and were mounted on stands or carts.
Forced to use other means, in 1883 Anthony introduced the Novel and Novelette cameras that allowed the entire back and bellows to revolve.
Some of these cameras had large round front panels with wide lens boards and were designed for stereo use.
