Leonard Bernstein was a charismatic and versatile musician—a brilliant conductor who attained international super-star status; and a gifted composer of Broadway musicals (West Side Story); symphonies (Age of Anxiety); choral works (Chichester Psalms); film scores (On the Waterfront); and much more. Bernstein was also an enthusiastic letter writer; and this book is the first to present a wide-ranging selection of his correspondence. The letters have been selected for the insights they offer into the passions of his life—musical and personal—and the extravagant scope of his musical and extra-musical activities.

A few of the songs are taken up or down a half step to put them in a key with fewer sharps or flats in the key signature. Im very glad that the piano parts are actual accompaniment instead of the piano replicating the vocal melody. Worked for what I needed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not the revival youd expect but still fine.By Jacob KriderWas disappointed to see that the lyrics/arrangements arent as they are for the revival soundtrack.Nonetheless; all the important songs are there and mostly correct when comparing to the revival.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not the revival chartsBy John B. DehaasBasically a re-issue of the 1972 book. Disappointing since the keys are different as well as the arrangements. However; these charts do not reflect those changes.
