This version includes: an appreciation of Bernstein by Ned Rorem, a detailed calendar of Bernstein’s life, a list of all of the orchestras Bernstein conducted and the years he worked with each, a classified inventory of compositions, a chronological list of compositions, a list of films in which Bernstein’s music appeared, inventories of Bernstein’s original television scripts and other writings, books by and about Bernstein, dissertations on Bernstein and his music, a list of his honors, online resources on Bernstein, and addresses of firms from which Bernstein music and other materials can be ordered.
