With style, wit, and exper tise, Leonard Bernstein shares his love and appreciation for musi c in all its varied forms in The Infinite Variety of Music, illum inating the deep pleasure and sometimes subtle beauty it offers. He begins with an imaginary conversation with George Washington e ntitled The Muzak Muse, in which he argues the values of actively listening to music by learning how to read notes, as opposed to simply hearing music in a concert hall. The book also features th e reproduction of five television scripts from Bernstein on the i nfluence of jazz, the timeless appeal of Mozart, musical romantic ism, and the complexities of rhythmic innovation. Also included a re Bernstein's analyses of symphonies by Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Bee thoven, and Brahms, a rare reproduction of a 1957 lecture on the nature of composing, and a report on the musical scene written fo r the New York Times after his sabbatical leave from directorship of the New York Philharmonic during the 1964-65 season.
