Leonard Bernstein

Zen Virtual PianoでLeonard Bernsteinのピアノ楽譜を見つけましょう。 Leonard Bernstein was an American conductor, composer, pianist, music educator, born on August 25, 1918, in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Bernstein was 10, his Aunt Clara deposited her upright piano at the family's house, and he asked for lessons. Leonard responded by teaching young people in his neighborhood, since his father, Samuel, had initially opposed his interest in music and tried to discourage it by withholding payment for piano lessons. Among his teachers was Helen Coates, who would later become his secretary. An upright piano arriving when he was 10, beside giving lessons to neighborhood young people, may link learning and teaching piano in his early years. Bernstein studied conducting with the music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky. Bernstein supported himself by coaching singers, teaching piano and playing the piano for dance classes in Carnegie Hall. Guest conductor Bruno Walter came down with the flu. Bernstein's major conducting debut fell on November 14, 1943. He had only just become assistant conductor to Artur Rodziński of the New York Philharmonic, and he took the podium with little notice and no rehearsal. Study with Serge Koussevitzky, beside a post as assistant conductor at the New York Philharmonic, may point to conducting as a thread in Bernstein's early career. Does coaching and teaching piano for pay, beside a conducting debut in 1943, point to a musician moving between teaching and the podium? Fancy Free, a ballet about three young sailors on leave in wartime New York City, was the first collaboration between Bernstein and Jerome Robbins, who began work on it in the fall of 1943. On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide and West Side Story are among Bernstein's best-known musicals, with West Side Story written in collaboration with Stephen Sondheim and Robbins. Bernstein composed Tonight with words by Sondheim, and it comes in two parts within the 1957 musical West Side Story. The melody for Tony and Maria's lyrics was initially intended to be used only for the quintet. Fancy Free and West Side Story both carry the name of Jerome Robbins beside Bernstein's. Bernstein's compositions covered many genres: opera, ballet, choral works, chamber music, piano pieces, film and theatre music, and symphonic and orchestral music. Bernstein held the conductor and musical director posts at the New York Philharmonic from 1958 to 1969, and he was the first American-born person in them. Bernstein led Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in Berlin on Christmas Day, 1989, in celebration of the Berlin Wall coming down. Posts at the New York Philharmonic from 1958 to 1969, beside a Berlin performance in 1989, may hint at conducting across both New York and Berlin. In 1990, Bernstein was awarded the Japan Art Association's Praemium Imperiale prize for music, and in October 1990 he died of a heart attack in New York, aged 72.
