The Max Steiner Collection: MSS 1547

Provo UT: Brigham Young University / Harold B. Lee Library. Near Fine. 1996. First Edition. Softcover. [a nice clean copy, virtually as-new except for a crack in the perfect-binding about midway through the book (with no loose pages, however)]. (B&W photographs, color facsimiles) Catalog/finding aid for the Max Steiner Collection of music scores, correspondence, and other memorabilia of the great Hollywood composer, held by the Special Collections and Manuscripts division of the Brigham Young University's Harold B. Lee Library. Includes: an article by Tony Thomas, "Max Steiner: Vienna, London, New York, and Finally Hollywood"; a chronology of Steiner's life and career, by Edward A.J. Leaney; and a filmography, by Clifford McCarty. Would make a nice companion piece to Steven C. Smith's recently-published biography of the composer (this collection itself having been a major source for same). .
