A LOT about the musicBy Rich GoldblumThis book has some very interesting interview segments with Sondheim. but the focus is really specific to the music. I suppose the title tells you that. but there are points where the discussion is really esoteric and technical. Not a great book if youre looking for juicy stories about casting decisions. backstage banter. etc. Also. the last half of the book is end notes. So. its actually only about 250 pages.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A Treasure TroveBy W. SmithIf you write music or are curious about how music is written. buy this book. Period. Not only are the interviews excellent and the printed excerpts of Sondheims scores priceless. but the extra step of including excerpts of even Sondheims drafts of songs is an unmatched idea. To have two different versions of The Worst Pies In London and then have the composer explain why he picked one over the other...well. it would be harder to get much closer to reading a composers mind than that. As with other reviewers. I can wish for a chapter each on Follies. Merrily. and Company (at least). but its hard to complain when there is so much invaluable material here. One note: you may also want to get a hold of a Classical Harmony book. since Sondheim uses figured bass to indicate chords (which sent me digging for my college Tonal Harmony textbook).1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
