  • (Item #: H6263-MRR1)
    Star American composer and conductor (1918-1990), who was the first conductor born and educated in the US to receive worldwide acclaim. Fantastic set with one of his original conducting batons, used by the conductor, and 2 pencils that belonged to him: - Conducting baton made by R. Horowitz, Mr. Bernstein´s baton maker, and timpanist for decades of the Met Opera Orchestra, signed R. Horowitz 7/11/85. Baton is 11 inches long. - One of Leonard Bernstein´s last composing pencils, made by Alpheus Music Writer, North Hollywood, California, 5.5 inches long. Both items were a gift from Aaron Stern, an intimate of Mr Bernstein up to his death, and given to a Bernstein friend and scholar, from who we got this from. We have verified this information. - Red/Blue marking pencil for marking conducting scores, 4.5 inches long, accompanied by the original note signed by composer Jack Gottlieb (1930-2011), who was Leonard Bernstein´s musical assistant during his tenure at the New York Philharmonic. Bernstein used these bi-colored pencils for the librarian to enter markings into the orchestra parts (red color) and for his own interpretations (blue color). Note is 6.25 x 4.3 inches in size. Pencils and autograph note by Gottlieb were given to a Bernstein friend and scholar in July 2003, from whom this entire collection comes from. ALSO INCLUDED is a typed note, signed by the scholar we obtained this from, a scan is not included here for privacy reasons, but the original signed document will be included with this wonderful Bernstein set.

  • (Item #: M8067-Y14E)
    Russian romantic composer (1833-1887) and chemist, Borodin was one of the most important Russian composers in the second half of the 19th Century. Exceedingly rare signed photo, with a short sentiment in French, dated by him in St. Petersburg in 1886, almost exactly a year before his death at age of only 44 during a festive ball.  Size is 4.2 x 5.7 inches, trimmed at the top, professionally repaired cracks but clearly legible signature, inscription and image, in only fair condition but priced accordingly. Borodin is by far one of the rarest Russian composers in autograph photos, and this is the only one we have seen ever.
