Stravinsky Igor
Autographed Letter Signed From Carl Haverlin To Igor Stravinsky.
1962. Single page typed signed letter with notes in Stravinsky's hand. Typed signed letter from 1962 to Igor Styravinsky from Carl Haverlin pioneer in radio broadcasting and longtime president of Broadcast Music Inc. The letter is on Broadcast Music Inc. stationary and Haverlin writes to inquire about some illustrations which Dulac had made for Stravinsky's Firebird Ballet. He writes: "I.take the liberty of asking you if your memory will bring forth any background on the sketches." In the margin adjacent to this sentence Stravinsky writes "Not at all!" in red pen. Haverlin closes the letter with: "Photostats of the sketchbook pages are enclosed." Beneath this Stravinsky writes along with his signature "I find it unfortunately very bad." Matted and framed opposite a photograph of Stravinsky. The entire piece measures 26.5 inches by 19.25 inches. Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer pianist and conductor. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky's compositional career was notable for its stylistic diversity. He first achieved international fame with three ballets commissioned by the impresario Serge Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes: The Firebird 1910 Petrushka 1911 and The Rite of Spring 1913. The last of these transformed the way in which subsequent composers thought about rhythmic structure and was largely responsible for Stravinsky's enduring reputation as a musical revolutionary who pushed the boundaries of musical design. His "Russian phase" which continued with works such as Renard the Soldier's Tale and Les Noces was followed in the 1920s by a period in which he turned to neoclassical music. The works from this period tended to make use of traditional musical forms concerto grosso fugue and symphony drawing on earlier styles especially from the 18th century. In the 1950s Stravinsky adopted serial procedures. His compositions of this period shared traits with examples of his earlier output: rhythmic energy the construction of extended melodic ideas out of a few two- or three-note cells and clarity of form and of instrumentation. unknown books

"I was very glad to find in him besides his remarkable gifts as a born violinist a musical culture a delicate understanding and - in the exercise of his profession - an abnegation that is very rare" p. 270. Stravinksy was inspired by his success with the Violin Concerto to compose a sonata for violin and piano which he took on tour with Dushkin to Europe and America ". a deeper knowledge of the violin and close collaboration with a technician like Dushkin had revealed possibilities which I longed to explore" p. 275.<br/>An important association marking a milestone in the expansion of Stravinksy's evolution as a composer.

One page type-written dated December 21st 1966 and addressed to John McClure at Columbia Records the letter reads "Dear John Please answer this Mercury Record letter for me telling them that they can have the permission though they can have it I think without asking me in any case. I have been ordered to rest -- no conducting at all -- after Chicago. This postpones our January plans I greatly regret to say and not only for me as I realize bu can't help. Happy New Year to you and your wife. Igor Stravinsky." The recipient John McClure was an American recording producer at Columbia Records throughout the 1950s and later operated in a freelance capacity. He worked on over 30 recordings with Stravinsky 200 with Leonard Bernstein and oversaw recordings by the Boston Pops Orchestra under John Williams.

Although most of his recordings were made with studio musicians he also worked with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra the Cleveland Orchestra the CBC Symphony Orchestra the New York Philharmonic Orchestra the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Bavarian Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra. unknown books

Typed Letter Signed "Igor Strawinsky" dated 1 May 1940 on Harvard letterhead to Dickson Ash of John C. Winston Co. acknowledging receipt of the Donald E. Cooke illustrated "Firebird" published by the firm
Cambridge 1940. One page typewritten signed in black ink. 1 vols. 4to. Old folds. Fine with original typed mailing envelope typed name "Igor Strawinsky" above printed return address. One page typewritten signed in black ink. 1 vols. 4to. Stravinsky at Harvard on the "Firebird" "Stravinsky began his stay in the United States at Harvard University delivering six Charles Eliot Norton lectures on musical poetics during the 1939-1940 academic year" ADNB.<br/><br/>In this brief formal letter Stravinsky acknowledges receipt of an edition of the Russian legend retold and illustrated by Donald E. Cooke. It was Stravinsky's 1910 score of The Firebird for the Ballets Russes that first brought him international notice. The New York Times obituary of Stravinsky published on 6 April 1971 noted "He also was not pleased that 'The Firebird' remained his most popular composition."<br/><br/>Uncommon document from early in Stravinsky's residence in the U.S. when he still spelt his surname with "w" in his signature and return address. unknown books

Stravinsky Igor
Typed letter signed to John McClure of Columbia Records
November 11 1967 Hollywood one page 4to on Stravinsky's imprinted stationery: "This letter is a pledge to help discharge Mr.Robert Craft's $10903.44 debt to CBS. As both Mr. Craft and CBS apparently are in precarious financial circumstances I herewith request and authorize the attachment and application of my own royalties." He concludes with a dig at the "richly ungrammatical note" from CBS's law firm. Signed in full. Fine condition. The works of Stravinsky 1882-1971 spanning from the romantic into the modern era revolutionized twentieth-century music. While The Firebird his first commission for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes reflects the rich orchestral coloring of Rimsky-Korsakov his dissonant third ballet The Rite of Spring caused a critical riot in 1913 Paris and still sounds barbarous today. Stravinsky met the young American conductor Robert Craft in 1948; Craft gradually became his Boswell and was instrumental in persuading the composer to adopt the twelve-tone scale. <br/><br/> unknown books

A two page typed note laid-into the book by one Lili Yuri Sasaki dated March 16 1964 explains the circumstances of the book's signing at the opening night of an exhibition of Vera Stravinsky's paintings in Cincinnati Ohio. Sasaki describes the impression created by the arrival of the Stravinskys at the exhibition and explains that she'd been given two items by her husband to have autographed by Stravinsky--a pirated edition of "L'histoire du Soldat;" and should the composer be reluctant to sign the piracy the present pocket score. Sure enough on looking over the piracy and noticing the imprint Stravinsky "suddenly looked disgusted and said 'they have no right -- I gave them no permission -- I will not sign this one' and handed it back much to the curiosity of the crowd. Then I handed him the Boosey & Hawkes Octet for wind instruments. He again looked it over closely.then turned the pages.looked pleased and signed saying; 'Yes I will sign this one.' and he did with a flourish!.beamed and returned the book. BLESS HIM.Vera later added 'and Vera.'" In addition to the note a printed invitation to the event on a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch card and a promotional brochure for the exhibition are laid in.
