As they engage with one of the 20th century's most provocative
musical personalities, studies of the multifaceted Leonard
Bernstein will always proffer new insights into the human
condition. But this is the first book on Bernstein to be written by
a composer, and the first by a colleague and friend who worked
intimately with the maestro for more than three decades. Jack
Gottlieb has been described as Bernstein's amanuensis and as the
preeminent Bernstein scholar. This memoir presents fresh,
sensitive, and revealing information about the everyday life of the
maestro in Part One, featuring reminiscences peppered with
anecdotes, humor, and stories by others. Part Two includes
Gottlieb's commentaries and analyses of Bernstein's works, which
have appeared in program notes for concerts by many of the world's
orchestras, as jacket {or 'liner'?} notes for recordings, and as
articles in journals and elsewhere, beginning with the New York
Philharmonic tribute 'A Valentine for Leonard Bernstein' on
February 13, 1961. Preceded by updated remarks, this collection
allows those seeking firsthand information on Bernstein's
compositions to find all of Gottlieb's valuable scholarship in one
place.
