  First Edition of Vera Stravinsky and Robert Craft's Stravinsky in Pictures and Documents; From the Collection of Broadway Composer Charles Strouse

  STRAVINSKY, Vera; Robert Craft [Charles Strouse].

  Stravinsky: In Pictures and Documents.

  New York: Simon and Schuster, 1978.

  First edition of this authoritative biography of Igor Stravinsky. Quarto, original cloth, profusely illustrated with 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" and other songs from the production becoming enduring American musical standards admired by generations. 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. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Designed by Edith Fowler. Jacket design by Robert Anthony.
