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

1962847621962. Single page typed signed letter with notes in Stravinsky's hand. Typed signed letter from 1962 to Igor Styravinsky from Carl Haverlin pioneer in radio broadcasting and longtime president of Broadcast Music Inc. The letter is on Broadcast Music Inc. stationary and Haverlin writes to inquire about some illustrations which Dulac had made for Stravinsky's Firebird Ballet. He writes: "I.take the liberty of asking you if your memory will bring forth any background on the sketches." In the margin adjacent to this sentence Stravinsky writes "Not at all!" in red pen. Haverlin closes the letter with: "Photostats of the sketchbook pages are enclosed." Beneath this Stravinsky writes along with his signature "I find it unfortunately very bad." Matted and framed opposite a photograph of Stravinsky. The entire piece measures 26.5 inches by 19.25 inches. Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer pianist and conductor. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Serge Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird 1910 Petrushka 1911 and The Rite of Spring 1913. The last of these transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a musical revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His "Russian phase" which continued with works such as Renard the Soldier's Tale and Les Noces was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassical music. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms concerto grosso fugue and symphony drawing on earlier styles especially from the 18th century. In the 1950s Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form and of instrumentation. unknown

Dushkin premiered the work in concert with Stravinsky conducting the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. Stravinsky recounts his collaboration with Dushkin on pp. 268-278 of his memoir. "I was very glad to find in him besides his remarkable gifts as a born violinist a musical culture a delicate understanding and - in the exercise of his profession - an abnegation that is very rare" p. 270. Stravinksy was inspired by his success with the Violin Concerto to compose a sonata for violin and piano which he took on tour with Dushkin to Europe and America ". a deeper knowledge of the violin and close collaboration with a technician like Dushkin had revealed possibilities which I longed to explore" p. 275.<br /> An important association marking a milestone in the expansion of Stravinksy's evolution as a composer.
