Autograph note slightly worn and creased; rustmark from paperclip to upper margin; first set of Tanglewood Talks lacking 2 pp. "Born into an intellectually and culturally vigorous environment, [Harbison's] earliest significant musical impressions were of jazz (he was the pianist in his own jazz band by the age of 11) and Bach. Together with Stravinsky they were to remain his chief musical influences. . He studied with Piston at Harvard . Later studies were with Blacher at the Berlin Musikhochschule (1961) and Sessions and Earl Kim at Princeton (MFA 1963). Very decisive for Harbison was a summer (1963) spent at the Santa Fe Opera Co. at the invitation of Sessions, where the complete operas of Stravinsky were being rehearsed and performed in the presence of the composer." David St George in Grove Music Online.
