Synopsis
Composer Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) explores the meaning and wonder of music. In a series of "Imaginary Conversations," he addresses such topics as the greatness of Beethoven and the importance of the symphony in America. The book also contains seven transcripts from Bernstein's Omnibus television show as well as assorted b&w photographs from his performances. This reprint of a volume originally published in 1959 features a new foreword from Washington Post music critic Tim Page. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
