And Music at the Close: Stravinsky's Last Years a Personal Memoir Book

In contrast to the public image of Igor Stravinsky as a continually biting & witty figure, the author shows us at close range how the great composer pursued his beloved work while fulfilling the many obligations of both his public & private lives.From 1959 until Stravinsky's death in 1971, the author was privileged to work closely with this extraordinary man - first as personal manager & press representative, later as sometimes his secretary, occasionally his cook, his valet, his seamstress, frequently his chauffeur, very often his companion; & before his final illness, his nurse.The author tells of Stravinsky's daily life at home in Hollywood, his family circle, his friend, Robert Craft, his travels, concerts, recordings, battles against advancing age & illness.In addition to the text, there are several photos included.Read More
