Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this authoritative biography of Igor Stravinsky. Quarto, original cloth, profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. From the collection of Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Strouse and his wife, choreographer Barbara Siman. Over his 50-year career, Charles Strouse wrote the music… for such iconic musical theater hits as Bye Bye Birdie, Applause, and Annie, as well as the theme song for the classic sitcom All in the Family ("Those Were the Days"). His partnership with Martin Charnin on Annie produced one of Broadway's most successful scores ever, with "Tomorrow" and other songs from the production becoming enduring American musical standards admired by generations. His reach knew no genre or generation â" from a number-one Billboard hit in 1958 to Jay-Z's Grammy-winning sampling of "It's the Hard-Knock Life" four decades later â" and his honors include three Tony Awards and induction into both the Songwriters and Theater Halls of Fame. With his ownership stamp to the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Designed by Edith Fowler. Jacket design by Robert Anthony. Stravinsky in Pictures and Documents (1978) is a monumental documentary biography of Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), assembled by the composer's widow, Vera Stravinsky (1888-1982), and his longtime musical associate and amanuensis Robert Craft (1923-2015). Departing from conventional narrative, the authors tell the story of one of the twentieth century's supreme musical figures largely through primary materials, hundreds of photographs, letters, diary entries, contracts, and other documents drawn from the Stravinsky archive, many published here for the first time, accompanied by Craft's connecting commentary and a wealth of annotation. The result is an unusually intimate chronicle that follows Stravinsky from his Russian childhood and the epoch-making early ballets The Firebird, Petrushka, and The Rite of Spring through his years in Switzerland, France, and the United States, illuminating not only his music but the artists, writers, and impresarios, among them Diaghilev, Picasso, and Cocteau, who populated his extraordinary life. Vera, a painter and former dancer who became Stravinsky's second wife, and Craft, who lived within the Stravinsky household for more than two decades, were uniquely placed to compile this rich and authoritative record.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of Robert Andersonâs autobiographical drama, later the basis for the Academy Awardâ"nominated 1970 film. Octavo, original publisher's half cloth, top stain blue, illustrated with black-and-white production photographs. Association copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the front free endpaper,…âDear Alan, Thank you for guiding this one through the shoals and narrows. It was a beautiful job â" Best, Bob. July 12, 1968.â The recipient, Alan Schneider, staged the original Broadway production of I Never Sang for My Father, which opened at the Longacre Theatre on January 25, 1968 with Hal Holbrook, Alan Webb, Lillian Gish, and Teresa Wright. The playwrightâs warm tribute to a âbeautiful jobâ affectionately credits Schneider with steering the production âthrough the shoals and narrows.â Schneider was among the foremost American directors of his generation and the great champion of the postwar stage in the United States: he directed the American premiere of Beckettâs Waiting for Godot in 1956 and remained Beckettâs preferred American director, staged the United States premieres of Pinterâs plays from the 1962 off-Broadway double bill of The Dumb Waiter and The Collection through the Broadway premiere of The Birthday Party in 1967, and won the 1963 Tony Award for Best Direction for the original production of Albeeâs Whoâs Afraid of Virginia Woolf? From the collection of Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Awardâ"winning composer Charles Strouse and his wife, choreographer Barbara Siman. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with a small closed tear to the front and rear panel. Illustrated by Martha Swope and Henri Dauman. An exceptional association copy uniting the playwright and the director of the original Broadway production. I Never Sang for My Father is Robert Andersonâs searing autobiographical drama of a middle-aged son, Gene, and his proud, domineering, emotionally withholding father, a relationship drawn directly from the playwrightâs own life. Its often-quoted opening line, âDeath ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the survivorâs mind toward some resolution which it may never findâ frames a work that probes guilt, duty, and the irreparable distances within families. The play opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on January 25, 1968 in Alan Schneiderâs production, with Hal Holbrook as Gene, Alan Webb as the father, Lillian Gish, and Teresa Wright, in sets by Jo Mielziner. Anderson adapted his own play for the acclaimed 1970 film directed by Gilbert Cates, who had produced the stage production, starring Melvyn Douglas, Gene Hackman, and Estelle Parsons; the film earned three Academy Award nominations, for Best Actor (Melvyn Douglas), Best Supporting Actor (Gene Hackman), and Best Adapted Screenplay, and won Anderson the Writers Guild Award for Best Adapted Drama. Among the most respected American playwrights of the postwar theater, Robert Anderson (1917â"2009) had earlier written the landmark Tea and Sympathy (1953) and the quartet of comedies You Know I Canât Hear You When the Waterâs Running (1967), both also Broadway successes, and was a founding member of New Dramatists and a longtime leader of the Dramatists Guild.
