2nd Edition Barber Biography

The 2nd edition of Samuel Barber: The Composer and His Music by his renowned biographer, Dr. Barbara B. Heyman, was released in February and is available at
Oxford University Press and also through Amazon.  Dr. Heyman’s discussion of the Violin Concerto in Chapter 8, eliminates any question as to its genesis.  The true story is laid out in full detail and should be required reading for any annotator intending to write program/liner notes on the Violin Concerto.
