Robert Craft Typescripts Collection
Abstract
The conductor/librettist Robert Craft (1923-2015) is most well-known for his associations with the composer Igor Stravinsky. This small collection consists of computer-printed drafts of what eventually would become Craft’s memoirs An improbable life (Vanderbilt University Press, 2002) and Places : a travel companion for music and art lovers (Thames & Hudson, 2000), as they were supplied to Mark Wait, Dean of the Blair School of Music.
