Sondheim, Stephen. (1930–2021)
Typed Letter Signed
An interesting letter from the important American musical composer. 1 page. January 13, 1975. On his letterhead. Addressed "Dear Mr. Pitts" In full: "What can I say? Your professor is a self-made satire --as you apparently know. I may not be able to speak for Rodgers and Hammerstein authoritatively (although I actually could) but I can for myself. And I can say categorically that any 'hidden meanings' I've 'implanted' in my songs are coincidental at best and unconscious at worst. If you want to talk about it further in May, you can call me at [gives phone number]. Otherwise I can only add that I'm glad it's his last year. Yours sincerely, [signed in blue ballpoint pen] Stephen Sondheim." In very fine condition. (6460)TLS Song
