  First Edition of Allen Shawn's Arnold Schoenberg's Journey; From the Collection of Broadway Composer Charles Strouse

  SHAWN, Allen [Charles Strouse].

  Arnold Schoenberg’s Journey

  New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002.

  First edition of this acclaimed portrait of the composer Arnold Schoenberg by composer and pianist Allen Shawn. Octavo, original publisher's half cloth, illustrated with music stanzas and 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” becoming a standard. 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. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Designed by Debbie Glasserman. Jacket design by Anne Fink.
