Description: Concerto for Orchestra. [Full score] Author: SESSIONS, Roger 1896-1985 Title: Concerto for Orchestra. [Full score] Publication: Bryn Mawr: Merion Music [446-41042], 1983 Description: Small folio. Original publisher's blue wrappers with white titling to upper. 48 pp.Edges of wrappers sligtly faded and scuffed. First Edition of Sessions' Pulitzer prize-winning work, composed in 1981 and premiered in Boston under Seiji Ozawa on 23 October of that year."Long revered by students, musicians and other composers, Sessions has not yet been accepted by the public. This is partly because his music, to quote his friend Casella, was 'born difficult'. Recordings have been slow in coming: not until 1996 were all nine symphonies available, while of the ten vocal works and operas only Lilacs is commercially recorded. His lofty personality, New England upbringing and idealism would not allow him to engineer - much less pay for - performances or recordings. Such indifference doubtless hindered his career. Fortunately, he possessed infinite patience, a knowledge of music history, a sense of humour and the self-confidence to wait for larger acceptance." Andrea Olmstead in Grove Music Online.
