Letters to L. Arnold Weissberger, 1954-1962.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122447642

Several of the letters are about the ballet AGON which premiered in Los Angeles on June 17, 1907. This ballet marked his first work using the twelve tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg instead of the neoclassic style which Stravinsky had previously used. All of Stravinsky's subsequent works were influenced by the twelve tone technique use in AGON. Other items in the collection deal with such matters as publication of an article he had done about his RITE OF SPRING, going to Mexico and San Francisco to conduct concerts, printing and publishing of some of his works, contracts with various record companies, and a possible NBC film production, as well as other subjects.
