La gloire de Leonard Bernstein comme chef d'orchestre et générale phénomène culturel a éclipsé son génie de compositeur, malgré le fait qu'au moins certains de sa musique orchestrale est entré dans le répertoire standard et a réalisé une mesure bien méritée de la popularité. En fait, sa réussite dans le domaine de la musique 'sérieuse' est à la fois plus grandes et plus importantes que ce qui est généralement admis. Il comprend trois symphonies, plusieurs pièces remarquables pour les solistes et orchestre, ballets qui sont souvent exécutés de concert, des suites de ses oeuvres scéniques différents, de la musique pour voix et orchestre, et un nombre important d'ouvertures et de courtes pièces. Dans l'ensemble de cette musique, le niveau de Bernstein de l'artisanat et de l'inspiration reste constamment élevée. Encore plus remarquable, et malgré son implication tout au long comme un chef d'orchestre en présentant les oeuvres d'autres compositeurs, sa personnalité et un style d'animer tous les bars. L'appel direct émotif de l'oeuvre originale de Bernstein a toujours parlé le plus directement à mélomane public (par opposition aux critiques ou universitaires), et si ce livre, en tandem avec le CD d'accompagnement, décrit l'ensemble de sa musique de concert significatif dans une analyse détaillée, mais façon accessible pour les auditeurs qui veulent explorer sa production riche et variée et colorée orchestre - à la fois le familier et l'inconnu - de façon plus approfondie. / Livre

This short work for clarinet and piano began as an unaccompanied melody which Bernstein copied from the wall of his periodontist friend Dr. Ron Odrich and later dished-up as a jazz clarinet melody for his friend who also happened to be a jazz clarinettist. Odrich and his composer partner Larry Fallon then used the tune as a basis for a very stylish work for clarinet and piano.
