Bernstein, Leonard - Original Conducting Baton and Composing/Correcting Pencils

Star American composer and conductor (1918-1990), who was the first conductor born and educated in the US to receive worldwide acclaim. Fantastic set with one of his original conducting batons, used by the conductor, and 2 pencils that belonged to him: - Conducting baton made by R. Horowitz, Mr. Bernstein´s baton maker, and timpanist for decades of the Met Opera Orchestra, signed R. Horowitz 7/11/85. Baton is 11 inches long. - One of Leonard Bernstein´s last composing pencils, made by Alpheus Music Writer, North Hollywood, California, 5.5 inches long. Both items were a gift from Aaron Stern, an intimate of Mr Bernstein up to his death, and given to a Bernstein friend and scholar, from who we got this from. We have verified this information. - Red/Blue marking pencil for marking conducting scores, 4.5 inches long, accompanied by the original note signed by composer Jack Gottlieb (1930-2011), who was Leonard Bernstein´s musical assistant during his tenure at the New York Philharmonic.
