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. Bernstein's letters tell much about this complex man, his collaborators, his mentors, and others close to him. His galaxy of correspondents encompassed, among others, Aaron Copland, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Thornton Wilder, Boris Pasternak, Bette Davis, Adolph Green, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and family members including his wife Felicia and his sister Shirley. The majority of these letters have never been published before. They have been carefully chosen to demonstrate the breadth of Bernstein's musical interests, his constant struggle to find the time to compose, his turbulent and complex sexuality, his political activities, and his endless capacity for hard work. Beyond all this, these writings provide a glimpse of the man behind the legends: his humanity, warmth, volatility, intellectual brilliance, wonderful eye for descriptive detail, and humor. 606 $aMusicians$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 606 $aConductors (Music)$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 606 $aComposers$zUnited States$vCorrespondence 615 0$aMusicians 615 0$aConductors (Music) 615 0$aComposers 676 $a780.92 686 $aBIO004000$aLCO011000$aMUS050000$2bisacsh 700 $aBernstein$b Leonard$f1918-1990,$0504769 702 $aSimeone$b Nigel$f1956- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790625903321 996 $aThe Leonard Bernstein letters$93714320 997 $aUNINA
