1978152209New York: Simon and Schuster 1978. First 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 – 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 – 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.

198323983New York City NY: Thames & Hudson 1983. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Thames & Hudson 1983. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 180 pages. Memorial collection of photographs with accompanying text. In effect the companion volume to Robert Craft's indispensable books on Igor Stravinsky. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published simultaneously with the First British Edition in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Robert Craft's "A Stravinsky Scrapbook: 1940-1971". Meticulously and lovingly selected assembled and annotated by Patricia Schwark from Robert Craft's archives with minimal yet helpful text by him. Here are photographs of Igor and Vera Stravinsky by Igor and Vera and many other friends and colleagues. It is nothing less than an intimate - and salient - pictorial treasure trove of twentieth-century cultural and intellectual history. As the book shows Stravinsky himself was very much an avid photographer Craft much less so. One of the loveliest - and most valuable - "casual snapshot" portrait-photographs Stravinsky took was of Maurice Ravel with Vaslav Nijinsky and the latter's wife Bronislava Nijinska looking out of a balcony all three looking elegant imperious and beautiful for they are three of the greatest artistic figures of the 20th century not named Stravinsky. Which Craft and Schwark save for near the end of the book like an exclamation point. It appears in book form for the very first time. "Here are revealing glimpses of Stravinsky's friendships and encounters with some of the great personages of twentieth-century culture as well as intimate portraits" Publisher's blurb. An absolute "must-have" title for Igor Stravinsky and Robert Craft collectors. This copy is very prominently neatly and beautifully signed dated shortly after publication and inscribed in black ink-pen on the second blank page by the author: "Dear B. I am so sorry I was not in New York for your party. Followed by inscription in French which translates in English as 'Ah where are the snows of yesteryears'. This is the sad season for me. Love - Bob December 1983". It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. The recipient who is named was unmistakably a close friend of Robert Craft and by extension also the Stravinskys and cannot be named here. This title is a great book. This is the only such signed publication-year dated and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing American available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. It is the single most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws because they were avidly pored over. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare one-of-a-kind signed copy thus. The greatest composer of the 20th century. One of the most brilliant critics of the 20th century. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER ROBERT CRAFT AND IGOR STRAVINSKY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 0500013101. Thames & Hudson hardcover
201023739New York City NY: Random House 2010. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Random House 2010. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 645 pages. Book-length account on subject. One of the best books on ballet ever written in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Jennifer Homans' "Apollo's Angels: A History of Ballet". Her deeply moving history of ballet. For Homans ballet is a metaphor for art itself. Ballet is not dance. Anyone can dance which is about life's vitality. Ballet demands the exact mediated opposite: Precision rigor purity. In a word art. Ballet - art - is about transcendence: The high leap we identify with ballet is transcendence itself about a higher and exalted state of being that we often call grace. "Grace" is now undervalued and rarely invoked in both demotic and hieratic discourse. There is no grace and a lot of vulgarity for example in contemporary culture as well as Ivory Tower academe. Like all great histories "Apollo's Angels" makes a larger point: A culture that does not have a notion of transcendence is an inferior one and will not have an enduring legacy. Often described as "Dionysian" "Le Sacre du Printemps" "The Rite of Spring" the sublime Nijinsky/Stravinsky collaboration that radically changed the course of ballet is instead "Apollonian" the re-presentation of primitive trance-ritual through ballet's highly formalized movements steps and gestures. The virgin sacrifice in "Le Sacre du Printemps" is the primal version of the sacrifice in "Swan Lake" and countless other ballets that the prima ballerina-heroine makes. An absolute "must-have" title for Jennifer Homans and ballet aficionado/collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Selected as one of the Ten Best Books of 2010 by The New York Times. One of the most brilliant critic/writers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 1400060605. Random House hardcover
