Leonard Bernstein: Teachers and Teaching An Autobiographic Essay by Leonard Bernstein

About

This 60-minute program honors the great American conductor, pianist and composer Leonard Bernstein as a teacher.

It assesses his importance, his credo and his sense of obligation to pass on to following generations what he himself learned and experienced. Leonard Bernstein saw himself as a link in a long chain of musical tradition leading from Koussevitzky, Mitropoulos, Reiner and Copland to himself and on to a younger generation represented by Seiji Ozawa and Michael Tilson Thomas, and to the youngest musicians he particularly enjoyed teaching, those who were still dreaming of a career.
