STANLEY HART CORRESPONDENCE, 1920-1931
|
| George Antheil's correspondence with Stanley Hart, which spans the 1920's. The nature of this correspondence dwells far more on personal issues and associations between the two men and the contrasting styles of expression in the two sets of correspondence -- reflected even in a difference in handwriting -- elucidate some of the complexities of character of this maverick of American music. |
