Extractions: American composer, conductor, pianist and writer. He wrote in virtually all genres, often merging popular and classical styles. Leonard Bernstein was something of a musical polymath. In the world of Western art music he enjoyed a worldwide reputation as a conductor and a composer. He was also a great communicator, and perhaps more than anybody else he was able to explain music (especially Western art music) to a wide audience. At the same time, he created music for the Broadway stage, and successfully integrated popular styles (especially jazz) into his musical vocabulary. For all this, Bernstein began his musical study rather late. His family bought a piano when he was ten years old, and he began study without real encouragement from his family. He progressed, studying with various teachers, and attended the prestigious Boston Latin School. He went from there to Harvard (1935-1939) and then to the Curtis Institute, where he studied conducting with Fritz Reiner and Serge Koussevitsky. He also kept one foot in the more popular world, playing with the Revuers in New York (a musical theatre group that included Betty Comden and Adolph Green). By 1943 he was assistant to Arthur Rodzinski, the conductor of the New York Philharmonic. It was here that he gained national and worldwide attention, substituting for an ill Bruno Walter in a broadcast concert. His conducting career progressed rapidly, and he was closely associated with the New York Philharmonic (where he served as music director from 1958 to 1969), the Israel Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He was in demand throughout the world and was the first American to conduct at Milan's La Scala opera house.

New York Philharmonic broadcast Leonard Bernstein debut "Bruno Walter, who was to have conducted this afternoon, is ill, and his place will be taken by the young American-born assistant conductor of the Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein." (Carnegie Hall, New York City, November 14, 1943) Leonard Bernstein was called the "Renaissance man of music" for his excellence as a conductor, a composer, a concert pianist, and a teacher who brought classical music to the masses. After studying conducting with Fritz Reiner and Serge Koussevitzky, he was hired as an assistant conductor for the New York Philharmonic in 1943. In the history of the orchestra, no assistant had been called on to conduct, but on November 14 fate smiled on Bernstein when guest conductor Bruno Walter fell ill. The night before, Bernstein had heard a singer perform one of his compositions and then, in typical Bernstein fashion, had stayed up late drinking and playing piano at the post-recital party. With three hours of sleep, a hangover, and no rehearsal, Bernstein was asked to conduct a complex program of Schumann, Strauss, Rosza, and Wagner that was going to be broadcast from Carnegie Hall across the nation by CBS radio. The concert was a sensational success, and

News report Death of Leonard Bernstein "He was the American maestro." (October 15, 1990) Leonard Bernstein, a towering presence in American music, died of a smoking-related heart attack on October 14, 1990. Just five days earlier, he had announced that he would retire from performing because of health problems. He was 72. Bernstein was called the "Renaissance man of music" for his excellence as a conductor, composer, concert pianist, and teacher who brought classical music to the masses. Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to Russian-Jewish immigrants in 1918, Bernstein studied piano and composition at Harvard. The American composer Aaron Copland and others encouraged him to become a conductor after observing Bernstein's intuitive grasp of classical music and unusual ability to play complex orchestral scores on the piano. Bernstein's big break came in 1943, when as an assistant conductor for the New York Philharmonic he was asked at the last minute to fill in for an ill Bruno Walter. The concert was a sensational success, and The New York Times published a front-page article the next day announcing the arrival of a great new conducting talent. For the rest of his life, Bernstein was an internationally sought-after conductor. He had an animated and flamboyant style, and on more than one occasion he actually fell off his conducting podium in his enthusiasm. Refusing to restrict himself to conducting, he composed acclaimed symphonies, operas, and scores for ballets. He was also deeply interested in American popular music, and jazz influences can be found in many of his classical pieces. His best-known works were for Broadway, and in the groundbreaking musical

She has chosen these specific works in order to demonstrate the dramatic diversity and historical synchronicities of the seminal and volatile decades in which they were composed.
