Book excerpt: "Few people had a greate impact on the performing arts in American than William Schuman (1910-1992). He made up for his late start in a musical career by becoming not only a composer but also the president of the Julliard School and then the president of Lincoln Center. Complex, driven, and filled with that confident optimism that characterized mid-twentieth-century America, he thought of himself as "a part of many different worlds.""--BOOK JACKET.
