Props for just tackling the subject. Writing about music and dance is hard, but writing well is rare. But the text and art here work together to show the collaborative process involved in making a new dance. Brilliant.Library copy
Magnificent! The double-page spread with Aaron Copeland sitting at his piano and the score in the background is a masterpiece!!
