Robert Craft met Stravinsky by invitation in 1948, after nearly 4 years of letter correspondence with the composer. It was this close association that steered Craft into a stimulating world of leading composers, writers & artists. At virtually the same time that he became a member of the Stravinsky household, Craft, aged 24, discovered the 'path of wonder' created by Arnold Schoenberg. Craft's musical observations are pertinent & witty, & it is music that underpins this collection of memoirs.
