Stravinsky: In Pictures and Documents.

1978réf. 152209New 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. Stravinsky in Pictures and Documents 1978 is a monumental documentary biography of Igor Stravinsky 1882-1971 assembled by the composer's widow Vera Stravinsky 1888-1982 and his longtime musical associate and amanuensis Robert Craft 1923-2015. Departing from conventional narrative the authors tell the story of one of the twentieth century's supreme musical figures largely through primary materials hundreds of photographs letters diary entries contracts and other documents drawn from the Stravinsky archive many published here for the first time accompanied by Craft's connecting commentary and a wealth of annotation. The result is an unusually intimate chronicle that follows Stravinsky from his Russian childhood and the epoch-making early ballets The Firebird Petrushka and The Rite of Spring through his years in Switzerland France and the United States illuminating not only his music but the artists writers and impresarios among them Diaghilev Picasso and Cocteau who populated his extraordinary life. Vera a painter and former dancer who became Stravinsky's second wife and Craft who lived within the Stravinsky household for more than two decades were uniquely placed to compile this rich and authoritative record.

STRAVINSKY - SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH Signed portrait 'A Monsieur Jantos Baruro Sinceres Connaissance de I Strawinsky. Rio le 11.VI.36'

réf. 1203A vintage gelatin silver print photograph head and shoulders portrait in part profile with shadow by George Hoyningen-Huene 1934 inscribed and signed in blue ink on the upper right-hand area of the photograph 85x135 cm original mount framed and glazed. This original vintage photograph of Igor Stravinsky 1882 - 1971 was taken in Paris on November 16 1934 by the famous fashion photographer George Hoyningen-Huene 1900 - 1968. This is likely to be the second collaboration between the composer and the photographer as Igor Stravinsky's print taken by Hoyningen-Huene first appeared in the 1927 November issue of Vanity Fair. At the time both Stravinsky and Huene resided in France where their second collaboration took place. After their departure from the Russian Empire at the outbreak of WWI the Stravinskys first settled in Switzerland and then in France where they lived up until 1939. Although during the French era Igor created some of his most famous pieces notably Concerto for Two Pianos - 1935 and even managed to find his second love Vera de Bosset 1889 - 1982 the composer later described the Parisian period as the most unhappy time in his life: in 1938 Stravinsky lost his daughter Lyudmila in 1939 - died his wife and mother. The 1934 photograph one of a series was taken shortly after Stravinsky acquired French citizenship and together with his wife Ekaterina moved from Voreppe to Paris. During that period Stravinsky mainly focused on writing music and his autobiography book Chronicle of My Life. Less than a year and a half following the November encounter with George Hoyningen Stravinsky and his son Soulima embarked upon their first voyage to South America during which Igor inscribed this photograph. In the period from April to June 1936 the two visited Buenos Aires Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro. Stravinsky's tour in South America was not only arranged but also largely underwritten by his friend Victoria Ocampo 1890-1979 a wealthy Argentine author and publisher of the literary periodical Sur. After giving a series of concerts in Argentina and while passing through Rio de Janeiro Stravinsky had stopped for a few days in order to perform at the Municipal Theater the presentation of his melodrama Persephone with Victoria Ocampo declaiming on June 5 and 12. The event was mostly attended by music critics artists journalists and intellectuals. Stravinsky got extremely upset when the small number of spectators applauded him on the night of the show. When embarking for Europe he declared to journalists: Brazil is still too green for my music. Maybe in fifty years it will understand. The composer signed this photograph a day before his second performance at the Municipal Theater. Shortly after the photograph was taken both Stravinsky in 1939 and Huene in 1935 permanently moved to the United States where their careers continued to blossom. unknown
