| Abstract | In contrast to the public image of Igor Stravinsky as a continually biting and witty figure, the author shows us at close range how the great composer pursued his beloved work while fulfilling the many obligations of both his public and private lives. From 1959 until Stravinsky's death in 1971, the author was privileged to work closely with this extraordinary man--first as personal manager and press representative, later as sometimes his secretary, occasionally his cook, his valet, his seamstress, frequently his chauffeur, very often his companion; and before his final illness, his nurse. The author tells of Stravinsky's daily life at home in Hollywood, his family circle, his friend, Robert Craft, his travels, concerts, recordings, battles against advancing age and illness. In addition to the text, there are several photos included. |
