Schuman, William. (1910–1992). Typed letter signed regarding "The Mighty Casey".

TLS by the American composer to autograph collector Steve Juscik in Merrillville, Indiana.  New York, January 10, 1985.  1 p.  On Schuman's personal letterhead paper.  In part: "The Mighty Casey is published by G. Schirmer Inc. in this city. In fact, a new edition of the work will soon go to the printer.  There has been no complete recording of The Mighty Casey, but I expect that within a year excerpts will be released."  10.5 x 7.25 inches (26.6 x 18.3 cm).  Two original horizontal folds; overall in very good condition.

"In the 1950s, with sights set on Broadway for his first opera, The Mighty Casey, Schuman simplified his harmonic language, favoring a greater preponderance for major keys and non-functional triadic motion, evidenced as early as Judith (1949) and continuing through the 1950s, especially after he left G. Schirmer and was forced to create a catalog of works for his new publisher, Theodore Presser."  Steve Swayne in Grove Music Online
