About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. Perhaps Bernstein's finest collection of conversations on the meaning and wonder of music, The Joy of Music stands as a classic for all lovers of music who wish to experience it through the eyes, ears, and mind of one of the most inspired, and inspiring, music intellects of our time. Employing the creative device of "Imaginary Conversations" in the first section of the book, Bernstein illuminates the importance of the symphony in America, the greatness of Beethoven, jazz, and the art of composing. The book also includes a photo section and a third section with the transcripts from his televised Omnibus music series, including "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony," "The World of Jazz," "Introduction to Modern Music," and "What Makes Opera Grand."
