réf. 51-3548Berkeley: UC Zellerbach Hall Mya 1968. Poster in blue and black. 22.75 x 17 inches. Very good with small closed tear at lower margin."It was May of 1968 in Berkeley and Zellerbach Hall was soon to open its spacious glass doors for the first time. The program to be played: Igor Stravinsky’s “Symphony of Psalms” and “Oedipus Rex” conducted by Robert Craft and the celebrated composer himself. Unfortunately Stravinsky had fallen ill and was unable to conduct. But he did still attend this inaugural performance at UC Berkeley’s famous music hall — legend has it that the distracted audience was more enraptured by Stravinsky’s reaction to the music than by the actual performance itself."

réf. 16350November 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. unknown books
